Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Primal Kitchen Pure Avocado Oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 5 cloves minced garlic
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups frozen cauliflower rice
- 1 cup chopped tomato
- 1 14 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
- ½ cup chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
- 1/4+ cup broth or water
- 6 large poblano peppers
- 3 ounces cheddar or similar cheese, shredded
- Primal Kitchen Cilantro Lime Dressing
- Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Spray
Alternate ingredient:
- Primal Kitchen Avocado Lime Dipping Sauce
Directions
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet on your stovetop over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and allow it to cook for about 30 seconds.
- Add the ground beef and break it up with a spatula or spoon as it cooks. Once the meat starts to brown, add the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the cauliflower rice to the pan and stir for a few minutes until the cauliflower defrosts. Add the black beans, chopped tomato, and broth, and give everything in the pan a stir.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a lid and allow to cook for 3-5 minutes. Remove the lid and stir until all of the liquid is gone, then remove the pan from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the beef is cooking, preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut the poblano peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Spray the peppers with avocado oil spray and place face down on a sheet pan. Place in the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
- Flip the peppers over and fill each pepper with a portion of the beef-cauliflower rice mixture. Sprinkle the top of each with cheese and place back into the oven to roast for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and melted.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with the Cilantro Lime Dressing or Avocado Lime Dipping Sauce. Sprinkle with additional chopped cilantro, and enjoy!
