Ingredients
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 lb lean ground beef, you can substitute with ground turkey or chicken
- 1/2 a small yellow onion, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into bite-sized squares
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into bite-sized squares

fajita seasoning
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
cauliflower rice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cups raw cauliflower rice
- salt, as needed
Instructions
- In a small bowl, add fajita seasoning ingredients. Mix with a small whisk and set aside.
- In a large skillet add garlic, ground beef and onion. Bring pan to medium high heat. Stir and cook, crumbling the beef as you cook. When beef is almost finished, add in fajita seasoning and bell peppers. Stir while cooking so that all the ingredients are evenly coated in seasoning. Cook until peppers are tender, onions are translucent, and beef is fully cooked. Remove from heat.
- In a separate skillet, prepare the cauliflower rice. Add in oil and bring to medium high heat. Add in cauliflower rice and cook until cauliflower is tender. Season with salt as needed.
- When rice and beef have cooled, you can prepare your meal prep containers.* Divide the cauliflower rice evenly across four containers. Then add ground beef fajitas mixture over rice, dividing evenly. Store lime and cilantro in a separate container or bag. Store in fridge or freezer. When ready to eat, re-heat food. Garnish with chopped cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime juice over food.
