Cheesy Chicken & Black Bean Cauli Rice

extra-virgin olive oil, plus more if needed

onion, chopped

garlic,

oregano

cumin

c. large head cauliflower, grated, or 4 cups riced cauliflower

Kosher salt

black pepper

tomato paste

c. shredded rotisserie chicken

c. (15-oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed

c. corn kernels (fresh, canned,

c. chopped tomatoes

jalapeños, thinly sliced

c. cilantro

c. shredded cheddar

c. shredded Monterey jack

Lime wedges,

Kind of a deconstructed enchilada. Would make great nachos. Harissa works if you’re out of tomato paste :-)

This was amazing! We loved it, and perfect for meal prep!

Yummy! Nice and light garden fresh take on an easy Mexican skillet style dinner.

Because my location and situation often means I can't always find ingredients, I use recipes as ideas more than actually following them. In this case, no rotisserie chicken , no black beans, no cheese. What I did was cook rice in my rice pot, and put onions, corn, boneless chicken thighs, flavored with garlic powder, oregano, and cumin, topped with a can of Rotel tomatoes and jalapenos, into my slow cooker. At dinner time I fried rice with salt and pepper, stirred in tomato paste, then shredded the chicken and strained the ingredients in the slow cooker and stirred it all with the rice. Then topped it all with a layer of refried beans and spread on some salsa con queso.  The house smelled great, and oh, so delicious!!

I made this and didn't like the texture or even the taste really, my mom liked it though so perhaps it's a personal preference. I thought it was dry but I did not add chicken.

Great one pan meal. Easy to make, very tasty. First bites clearly cauliflower but with the spices and other ingridients, flavor really grows on you. Plus no food coma after a couple servings.

I lowered the carbs a bit by omitting the corn & half the cauliflower; I used canned crushed tomatoes & Hatch chili enchilada sauce with sharp cheddar, then simmered it about an hour to reduce the liquid.  Topped it with chilis, avocado & sour cream - pretty good.  It didn't resemble the pics here at all, and I had to use a wok instead of a skillet due to the volume.

This recipe is really good. 2nd time I made this, I added 2 cups of grated cauliflower and 2 cups of grated broccoli for added vegetable and it also worked out great.

Easy, healthy, perfectly spicy Buffalo Cauliflower Bites prepared in the Air Fryer! 

Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

butter, (melted)

olive oil

Frank's Red Hot Sauce

almond flour

Lawry's Seasoning Salt

Place cauliflower florets in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Melt butter; stir in olive oil and hot sauce until thoroughly combined.

Pour the hot sauce mixture over the cauliflower; mix around until all cauliflower florets are coated.

In a separate bowl whisk together almond flour, dried parsley, garlic powder, and seasoning salt.

Sprinkle about a handful at a time of almond flour mixture over the cauliflower; gently mix until everything is coated.

Transfer half of the prepared cauliflower to the air fryer.

Air fry at 350˚F for 15 minutes, shaking a couple times during the cooking process. Cauliflower is done when the florets are a bit browned, but not mushy.

Remove cauliflower from the Air Fryer; set aside and keep covered.

Repeat the same process with the remaining cauliflower florets.

Serve with celery sticks and your favorite bleu cheese dressing.

Cheesy, garlicky, flavor loaded mashed cauliflower prepared in the Instant Pot! This is the perfect, most delicious low-carb swap for mashed potatoes!

Instant Pot Loaded Mashed Cauliflower

water, (you can also use chicken broth)

garlic

dry mustard powder, ((optional))

chili powder, (or to taste (optional))

fat free shredded cheddar cheese

green onions, (sliced, for garnish)

Preheat oven to 375F.

Pour broth in the insert of your Instant Pot.

Place steamer basket inside the Instant Pot.

Transfer prepared cauliflower to the basket inside the Instant Pot.

Close the lid and set the valve to sealing.

Set on manual setting and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes.

Use the quick release function to release the pressure.

Drain out all of the liquid and transfer the cauliflower to a food processor or blender.

Add garlic, butter, sour cream, dry mustard, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the blender; process until blended and creamy. I recommend using the pulse function because you have more control over how creamy or chunky you want your mashed cauliflower.

Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a baking dish.

Top with cheeses and prepared bacon; bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Sprinkle green onions over the top.
