Cheesy cauliflower rice loaded beef taco skillet, a delicious meal made easily in one pan – a satisfying no-fuss week-night dinner!
Sometimes I think there’s a common misunderstanding that food bloggers don’t like simple recipes. I can’t speak for every food blogger. But, I personally love simple meals. Better yet, I love one and done recipes. One pan or one pot aka easy clean up. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the occasional complex recipe to challenge myself or make things fancy for an at home date night. However, I like keeping things easy for the most part. That doesn’t mean you can’t love food & cooking either. Sometimes you just don’t have the time or patience. Also, a sink full of dishes is kind of the worst.
This loaded beef taco skillet is so hearty and satisfying, yet healthy! I love any type of Mexican themed dinner. So this will definitely be on our weekly rotation. Some of the ingredients I used are: Butcher Box [3] grass-fed ground beef, green bell pepper, pinto beans, cauliflower rice, Trader Joe’s [4] bottled taco sauce (salsa would also work), avocado and of course shredded cheddar cheese.
This recipe is super versatile – you can change up the beans by switching to black or kidney. Also, you can use ground turkey instead of ground beef. Maybe even change up the toppings, I love it with pickled jalapeños, diced avocado, juicy tomatoes, and fresh cilantro. In conclusion, this recipe is a week-night staple.
