Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In a frying pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil and spread the cauliflower rice evenly, sautéing for 5–10 minutes.
  3. In the same pan, add ground beef, diced bell pepper, and onion. Cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and tender.
  4. Stir in taco seasoning and tomato paste, adding water to create a filling. Simmer for 7–10 minutes.
