Ingredients
Instructions
Gather all ingredients: lean ground turkey, black beans, cauliflower rice, chipotle sauce, olive oil, spices, and garnishes.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Season with cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the drained black beans and chipotle sauce. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add frozen cauliflower rice to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower rice is tender and heated through. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Divide the mixture among bowls. Garnish with sliced jalapeños, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately or store for meal prep.
For best results
- For extra smoky flavor, add a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (minced) along with the sauce.
- To save time, use pre-cooked frozen cauliflower rice and microwave it before adding to the skillet.
- This meal keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
Variations
- Swap ground turkey for ground chicken or lean ground beef.
- Add bell peppers and onions for extra veggies.
- For a dairy-free option, top with avocado slices instead of cheese.
