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

  1. Position rack in upper third of oven. Preheat broiler to high.


  2. 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.


  3. Using a blender, add the cottage cheese and blend until smooth. Add creamy mix to the skillet.


  4. 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.


  5. 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.
