  • 1 can Rotel drained

  • Optional add-ins: corn diced zucchini, or green chilies
  • For serving: sour cream sliced green onion, and chopped cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and ground beef. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned.
  • Stir in riced cauliflower, black beans, and Rotel. Season with a pinch more salt and cook for 3–4 minutes.
  • Pour in the enchilada sauce and let simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to come together.
  • Smooth the mixture evenly in the skillet. Layer the torn corn tortillas on top, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly around the edges.
  • Top with sour cream, green onion, and cilantro. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

    •    Add a kick: Use spicy enchilada sauce or a can of hot green chilies.
    •    Make it lighter: Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken.
    •    Vegetarian version: Skip the meat and double the black beans and veggies.
    •    Leftovers: This reheats beautifully the next day for lunch or quick dinners.
