Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
3 cups bite-size cauliflower florets
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground chipotle
1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added petite-diced tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1..5 cup cottage cheese
⅓ cup sliced pickled jalapeños
Directions
Position rack in upper third of oven. Preheat broiler to high.
Heat oil in a large broiler-safe skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add beef and cauliflower; cook, stirring and breaking the beef up into smaller pieces, until it is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes.
Using a blender, add the cottage cheese and blend until smooth. Add creamy mix to the skillet.
Stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and chipotle; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and their juices; bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced and the cauliflower is tender, about 3 minutes more. Remove from heat.
Sprinkle cheese over the beef mixture and top with sliced jalapeños. Broil until the cheese is melted and browned in spots, 2 to 3 minutes.
