Ingredients

• 2limes
• 2plum tomatoes
• ½ ozfresh cilantro
• 5 ozcorn
• 10 ozpkg grass-fed ground beef
• ¼ ozchipotle chili powder
• 12 ozcauliflower rice
• 2scallions
• 2 ozguacamole
• 1 ozpumpkin seeds

Instructions

1. Finely grate all of the zest from 1 of the limes; then squeeze 2 tablespoons lime juice into a medium bowl, keeping them separate. Coarsely chop tomatoes and stems; cilantro leaves and stems.
2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add corn and cook until warmed through and lightly browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Transfer corn to bowl with lime juice. Add tomatoes, half of the cilantro, and 2 tablespoons oil; toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reserve skillet for step 5.
3. Preheat broiler with a rack in the top position. In a medium bowl, combine ground beef (or more or less, depending on heat preference), gently knead to combine. Set aside to marinate until step 5.
4. On a rimmed baking sheet, stir cauliflower rice with 1½ tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper; spread into an even layer. Broil on top oven rack until cauliflower is tender and lightly browned in spots, about 5 minutes (watch closely as broilers vary). Remove from oven. Carefully stir lime zest and remaining cilantro into cauliflower directly on baking sheet.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in reserved skillet until shimmering. Add beef and season with salt. Cook, breaking meat up into large pieces, until browned and cooked through, 3–4 minutes.
6. Cut any remaining lime into wedges. Spoon cilantro-lime cauliflower rice into bowls. Top with beef, salsa, guacamole, pumpkin seeds, and sliced scallions. Serve any lime wedges on the side for squeezing over. Enjoy!
