Ingredients

For The Shakshuka:

  • ½ tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • ½ large red bell pepper sliced
  • teaspoons taco seasoning
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14 ounces)
  • cup salsa of choice
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper
  • ½ large avocado sliced
  • Cilantro for garnish
  • Sliced green onion for garnish

For The Cauliflower Rice:

  • 3 cups cauliflower cut into florets
  • teaspoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • cup cilantro minced
  • Fresh lime juice to taste
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Heat the avocado oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red bell pepper and cook until it begins to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the taco seasoning and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the diced tomatoes, salsa, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce begins to reduce, about 7-8 minutes.
  • While the sauce simmers, place the cauliflower in a food processor and process until broken down and rice-like.
  • Heat the oil for the cauliflower rice in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower rice and cook until lightly golden brown, stirring occasionally. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl and stir in the cilantro. Season with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Cover to keep warm.
  • Once the shakshuka sauce has reduced, crack the eggs into the skillet, leaving room in between them. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook until the eggs are done to your liking. I cooked mine about 4 minutes for runny yolks.
  • Divide the cauliflower rice between 2 bowls and top with the shakshuka.
  • Garnish with the sliced avocado, cilantro, and green onion. Season to taste with salt and pepper and DEVOUR.
