Macro-Friendly Taco Skillet

A way to add some volume to your taco meat without many more macros.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb 96/4 lean ground beef (or ground beef or turkey of choice. Macros may change!)
  • 1 medium onion, diced (~200 g)
  • 2 T Taco seasoning, or more to taste ( I used 2.5 T)
  • 10 ounces rice cauliflower
  • 1 can Rotel, original or mild
  • 56 g shredded cheddar cheese, or cheese of choice (2 ounces)

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, brown ground beef and the onion together over medium heat, crumbling the ground beef as it cooks. Once no pink remains, stir in the taco seasoning and add the riced cauliflower and can of rotel. Cook until rice cauliflower is tender and most of the water released from the cauliflower rice has been absorbed.
  • Once the mixture has been heated through, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top and allow it to melt.
  • To serve, spoon into tortillas or serve over a salad. Serve it with additional cheese, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, hot sauce, salsa, etc. to help satisfy your family and add to your plate as your macros allow!

Notes

Macros for 1/4 of the recipe are rounded to 9F/13C/31P, 267 calories.
To find the amount per serving in grams, first remember to weigh your pan before cooking. Then, once everything is finished cooking, weigh your pan with your prepared ingredients inside it. Take the weight of the pan and its ingredients (let's say is 2000), subtract the amount of the pan (say 1000), to find the total weight of the cooked ingredients (2000-1000)= 1000. Then, divide by 4 to find the grams per serving (1000/4= 250 g per serving).
