Key Notes: Paleo, keto, gluten free, low-carb

Make a lot and freeze them individually!
Grated organic cauliflower beautifully mimics the texture of rice, while delivering healthy servings of low carb vegetable fiber.
Make sure you use organic grass-fed beef to prevent accidentally ingesting hormone and antibiotic laced meat.
Organic vegetables are also far superior to the pesticide and fungicide ladened produce often found in supermarkets.
You can serve this with all sorts of delicious things like organic grass-fed sour cream, a sprinkling of organic cumin, some organic guacamole, or swap out the beef with organic pork, free range chicken or turkey.
Organic mushrooms, squash, and carrots could be a welcome addition too, to possibilities are endless!
