Enjoy the taste of an Enchilada without the excess carbohydrates and fats!
Ingredients:
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 1lb 99% lean ground turkey
- 2x 10oz cans Red Enchilada sauce (I used Old Ed Paso)
- 1x 2.25oz can sliced black olives, drained (I used Early California)
- 1x 4.5oz can diced green chiles (squeeze out any excess liquid)
- 3x tomatoes, diced (I used Roma)
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Chile powder
- Paprika
- Cumin
- Salt (to taste)
- Crushed red pepper (for a spicier dish)
Directions:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees farenheight.
- Chop stems off the cauliflower head and place chunks of cauliflower in a blender or food processor to create cauliflower "rice".
- Place cauliflower rice between two paper towels pressing out as much moisture as possible. Eliminating moisture will create a less "mushy" dish.
- Spray 13x9 baking dish with cooking spray, and place cauliflower rice evenly on the bottom of the pan, making it as flat as possible.
- Then in a shallow pan, cook off the ground turkey on the stove top until no pink remains (165 degrees internal temperature). Drain any excess liquid from the pan.
- Pour both cans of Enchilada sauce over the turkey and make sure all meat is coated well.
- Using a large spoon, place meat/sauce mixture evenly over the cauliflower rice in your baking dish.
- Lightly sprinkle over entire baking dish contents with chile powder, cumin, and salt. Add crushed red pepper if you like your food spicy!
- Layer green chiles and black olives over the meat mixture.
- Top with 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
- Back at 350 degrees for 45 minutes
- Makes 6 servings!
Hint: The dish will not stay together in a "slice" form, but do your best to evenly distribute 6 servings for accurate macros!
