Taco Meat

Dice the onion and red pepper.
In a frying pan, add the olive oil and cook the onion and red pepper on medium heat until soft. Add the ground meat and cook for 2 minutes, just until browned.Add all of the spices and water and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until all of the water has evaporated. Set the meat aside. Don’t wash the pan, you’ll use it in the next step.

Sunny Side Up Egg

Crack the egg open in the previous frying pan. Cook on medium heat, covered, for a good 2 minutes. The egg white should be cooked through and the egg yolk should still be runny. Set aside once cooked.

Cauliflower Rice

Add the oil, cauliflower rice and spices to a frying pan. Cook 4-5 minutes until all of the cauliflower has been cooked through and is soft enough to eat.

Assemble the Taco Rice

Chop the lettuce and tomato.
Add the cauliflower rice on a large plate, cover with the chopped lettuce, ground meat, cheese, tomato and then fried egg.This makes two servings!

If you’re not on a low carb diet, simply replace the cauliflower rice for white rice.

Instead of cauliflower rice, you can use broccoli rice or shirataki rice.
Instead of ground beef, you can use ground pork, ground chicken or ground turkey.
