Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil.
-
If using diced chicken thighs, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.
-
If using ground beef, break up until beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.
-
If using ground turkey, break up until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes.
-
If using shrimp, pat dry. Cook until pink and shrimp reach minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side.

1 Cook the Cauliflower
Break cauliflower into bite-sized pieces using hands.
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add 1/4 cup water and cauliflower to hot pan and bring to a simmer.Once simmering, cover and cook until water is mostly evaporated and cauliflower is tender, 3-5 minutes.Uncover and stir often until lightly browned, 2-4 minutes.While cauliflower cooks, continue recipe. -
2 Prepare Ingredients and Make Dressing
Separate leaves of lettuce for wraps. To re-crisp lettuce wraps, soak in icy, cold water, 5 minutes. Thoroughly dry. Lettuce wraps are a delicious but messy meal. For this recipe, they can easily be converted to a salad. Simply chop romaine and top with filling after completing steps.
Drain and rinse beans in a colander/strainer.Mince garlic.Combine half the garlic (reserve remaining for cauliflower mixture), half the cheese (reserve remaining for garnish), mayonnaise, vinegar, 1 tsp. water, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Set aside. -
3 Add the Corn and Beans
Add beans, corn, remaining garlic, taco seasoning, and a pinch of salt to hot pan with cauliflower.
Stir occasionally until heated through, 1-2 minutes.Remove from burner. -
