Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 340-g package frozen cauliflower rice about 2 cups
  • 1 lb lean ground chicken
  • 2 Tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 15-oz jar salsa verde
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1/2-1 lime juiced (adjust to taste), plus more for serving
  • 4 small corn tortillas halved, then cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 cup shredded cheese

To serve

  • lime wedge, hot sauce, plain greek yogurt

Instructions

  • Heat a large non-stick skillet to medium.
  • Add cauliflower rice and cover. Let cook for 3-5 minutes untouched. Then, remove the lid and begin breaking it up with a spatula as it defrosts. Repeat as needed until all cauliflower rice is crumbled and defrosted.
  • Add ground chicken and taco seasoning to the pan. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, break it up into small, even crumbles. Continue cooking until ground chicken is browned and no pink remains.
  • Add salsa, lime juice, beans, and chicken broth. Stir until well combined and cover. Cook for 5-10 minutes or until everything is heated through and bubbling.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add tortilla strips and stir. Top with cheese, cover, and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and tortilla strips have softened. Or, keep uncovered and pop it under the broiler for a few minutes until cheese is browned and bubbling.
  • Rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • When you're ready to eat, top with a scoop of greek yogurt, a bit of hot sauce, and a generous squeeze of fresh lime. Add more garnish as desired. Enjoy!
