Ingredients

  • 10 oz. Riced Cauliflower frozen
  • 5 oz. Super sweet corn frozen
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 3-4 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning to taste (store bought is not as flavorful and will not be enough seasoning)
  • ¼ medium yellow onion minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 15 oz. canned pinto beans drained and rinsed
  • 15 oz. canned black beans drained and rinsed
  • 4.5 oz. canned green chiles
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 teaspoon hot sauce or 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup thick cut shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • Toppings: fresh cilantro sliced avocado, Greek yogurt, and fresh sliced cherry tomatoes.

Instructions

  • Place frozen riced cauliflower and frozen super sweet corn into a large skillet. Add 1 cup vegetable broth and use a wooden spoon to break up the veggies and mix. 
  • Turn the heat to medium/high and place the cover on top. Let steam for around 5 minutes, mixing every so often.
  • Add in taco seasoning, onion, garlic, beans, green chiles, tomato sauce, and hot sauce and mix until everything is combined. Cover again and let cook over medium/high heat for 5 more minutes. 
  • Uncover and mix again. Do a taste test and add salt and hot sauce, as needed. Finally, sprinkle on 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and place the top back on. Let the cheese melt for around 3-5 minutes.
  • Serve with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, Greek yogurt/sour cream, and fresh sliced tomatoes. Eat in a bowl with tortilla chips, or in a burrito.
