Ingredients
- Chicken – 24 oz. of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I used 6 4 oz. chicken breasts for even serving sizes.
- Onion Powder – 1 tsp onion powder
- Smoked Paprika – 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Cumin – 2 1/2 tsp cumin
- Garlic Salt – 1 tsp garlic salt
- Pepper – 1 tsp black pepper
- Chili Powder – 2 tablespoons of chili powder.
- Green Onions – 1 bunch of green onions (about 4-5)
- Garlic – 1 tsp minced
- Cauliflower Rice – 24 oz. cooked cauliflower rice (you can cook the frozen kind that you just pop in the microwave!)
- Salsa – 1 1/2 cups of your favorite salsa.
- Green Chilies – One 7 ounce can of green chilies – I used the fire roasted ones.
- Beans – 1 cup of black beans, or your favorite kind of beans.
- Cheese – 1 cup of fiesta style shredded cheese, or your favorite type of shredded cheese.
- Cilantro – To taste
How To Make It
1. Combine the chili powder, onion powder, cumin, garlic salt, pepper, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Sprinkle half the seasoning over your chicken breasts.
2. Heat up your grill or grilling pan & cook the chicken breasts over medium heat until they are cooked through. Turn off the heat and set aside.
3. Add a drizzle of olive oil to a large skillet or wok. Add in the cauliflower rice, green onions, garlic, and remaining spice mixture. Sauté for 10 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender. This is really important because this transforms the texture of the cauliflower rice!
4. Add in the salsa, black beans, green chilies and cilantro. Stir everything together until heated through..
5. Place the chicken breasts into the wok/skillet and top with the shredded cheese and additional salsa of desired.
6. Allow the cheese to fully melt and enjoy!
