I’m from Cali, so I love Mexican food. Like loooooooove Mexican food. When I started eating lower carb, high veggie and lean proteins I basically lived off of veggie packed taco bowls to lose the baby weight. However now that I’m on my 3rd year of eating like this I was starting to get really tired of piles of red peppers and cauliflower rice. I couldn’t do it anymore. Plus bell peppers are SO expensive in the winter here in Colorado!
This recipe is delicious as a side, as a base to a bowl or even as a vegetarian taco or burrito filling. I can’t wait to try wrapping it in foil and cooking it on the grill this summer! Most of the time I end up pairing it with Costco’s Tortilla Crusted Tilapia and some bagged coleslaw mix tossed in a dressing made of lime juice and greek yogurt to make a quick weeknight dinner, but since I usually have leftovers I’ll usually whip up a quick taco bowl with it as a base or put it in quesadillas for a second dinner that week.
