Five Ingredient Fridays: Taco and “Rice” Bake

September 6, 2013 By Karen Sorenson

This content will be shown before all post

Let’s face it…we’re all busy.  Making good decisions in regards to our diets can often be clouded by the fact that our time is limited.  Starting today, I am introducing a new series:  Five Ingredient Fridays.  Every Friday I will share with you a recipe or technique that uses 5 Ingredients or fewer.  The idea is to show you recipes that are easy to prepare and versatile for all of us that don’t have time to whip up a complicated meal during the week.

The recipes will include 5 ingredients or fewer, but there are a few ingredients that are considered “free” ingredients that you probably use every day and are already in your kitchen.  The “free” items are water, salt, black pepper, and cooking oil.  These items may be used in recipes and won’t count toward the ingredient total.  I will also include some optional items that would be great to add if you have them on hand but you don’t need to make a special trip to the store if you’re all out.

Ready to get started?

Today I am sharing with you a recipe for Taco and “Rice” Bake.  This recipe is great served over lettuce or right out of the bowl.

  4. Add the cauliflower rice and tomatoes and stir to combine.
