Ingredients

1 pound ground beef (96/4)
1 head cauliflower (riced)
2 tablespoon olive oil
4 cup fresh spinach (packed)
2 red bell peppers (diced)
2 green bell peppers (diced)
2 tablespoon lime juice
0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
3 tablespoon ground flax seeds
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the extra lean ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the beef. Stir well and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the ground flax seeds.
Push the beef to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the empty side, then add the diced red bell peppers and green bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the riced cauliflower and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately in bowls. Store remaining portions in airtight containers.

Notes

Ensure all spices used are low-FODMAP certified or free from onion/garlic powder. Leftovers reheat well in the microwave.
