Ground Chicken and Cauliflower Taco Skillet

About This Recipe

Taco seasoned ground chicken and pan roasted cauliflower topped with melted jack cheese.

Ingredients

• 24 oz Cauliflower Florets (cut into bite size pieces)
• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1 pound Ground Chicken
• 15 oz can Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes
• 1 packet Taco Seasoning
• 4 oz Pepper Jack or Colby Jack Cheese
• Corn Tortillas*
• Cilantro
• Queso Fresco
• Lime Wedges
• Salsa Macha or Hot Sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400ºF (unless you plan to melt the cheese in the final step by covering the pan).
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the cauliflower pieces and stir to coat in the oil. Cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes, until the cauliflower starts to pick up a golden brown color in spots and looks well roasted. Transfer the cauliflower to a bowl and set aside.
3. Add the ground chicken to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes without touching until a golden brown crust forms on one side. Use a spatula to break the chicken apart and fully cook.
4. Add the diced tomatoes and taco seasoning to the ground chicken, stirring everything together. Once the sauce is simmering, add the cauliflower back to the pan and stir to combine.
5. Top with the cheese and either cover the pan over low heat to melt the cheese or bake in the 400ºF oven for 10 minutes.
