Light And Easy Turkey Tacos with Cauliflower “Rice”
I made this delicious recipe for easy turkey tacos with cauliflower “rice”, and it’s great for a crowd and people with different preferences.
Equipment
1 Olive oil spray
Ingredients
1 ½ pounds ground turkey (minced turkey)
2 medium green pepper (green capsicum) - any color, chopped
1 medium jalapeno - finely chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder (chilli powder in British English)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper- 12-16 ounces riced cauliflower
1 can black beans* - drained
¼ medium red onion - finely chopped
8 pieces flour tortillas - 10-inch
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:
1 cup cheddar cheese
¼ cup green onions (scallions or green shallots)- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
½ cup guacamole - Freshly made
½ cup salsa
½ cup sour cream - or plain Greek yogurt
1 medium iceberg lettuce - romaine, thinly shredded
Instructions
- Heat a pan on medium to medium high heat and spray with olive oil. Add in the ground turkey. Once the turkey begins to brown, use a spatula to break up the meat. Cook for about 3-5 minutes.
- Mix in the seasonings so that they get incorporated into the still-raw meat. Add in the chopped veggies and cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
- After the veggies have softened, add in the cauliflower rice. After about 2 minutes, add in the red onion and black beans.
- Warm your tortillas* and prep your toppings if you haven’t already.
- Test the cauliflower to make sure it is to the consistency you like. If there is still too much crunch, let it go a little while longer. The cauliflower shouldn’t need much more than 5 minutes total to warm up.
- Place your warmed tortilla on a plate and load up with the turkey taco meat and cauliflower rice. Add toppings to your heart’s content, and enjoy!
