You guys asked for easy, quick meals – so here ya go! It honestly doesn’t get easier than this. I wasn’t planning on recipe testing or doing anything special for dinner last night, then this just kinda happened! Annabel asked for tacos, but I realized I didn’t have any non-flour tortillas for me. So, I made up this easy one-pan meal and ended up serving it with avocado, cilantro, and lactose-free sour cream for me, and inside of a tortilla for the kids! And they had no clue there was cauliflour mixed in – WINNING 🙂 This is similar to the Paleo Taco Pie – it’s basically the filling without the tortillas, with no baking involved.
You only need 3 main ingredients + a bunch of spices that you probably already have on hand to make this! I used grass-fed ground beef from Butcher Box (click here to get 2 lbs of grass-fed, grass-finished beef for free for the lifetime of your subscription!), frozen cauliflower from Trader Joe’s, and a 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes with green chilis from Trader Joe’s.
Omit the lactose-free sour cream to make this completely Whole30 compliant. Or, add cheese and sour cream and anything else your heart desires if you aren’t doing Whole30! I try to make all of my meals customizable to meet the needs of (mostly) everyone. I also have a cashew dairy-free sour cream (whole30 compliant!) recipe on the blog!
Whole30 Taco Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 lb grass fed ground beef
- 1 package frozen cauliflower rice , (I prefer this over fresh- better consistency - doesn't get mushy!
- 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes with green chilis
- 1 tsp avocado or olive oil
- 1.5 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp oregano
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Brown the beef in a large saute pan. Drain, remove from the pan, and set aside. In the same pan, add the oil and heat over medium high heat. Add the frozen cauliflower rice and cook for 4-5 mins until softened.
- Add the beef back into the pan along with the tomatoes (with juices), and spices. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through. Serve with avocado, cilantro, and hot sauce. Enjoy!

Hi! This is on our menu this week, and I was wondering if you have the serving size for this meal to go along with the nutrition information? Thanks!
Hi! The nutrition facts are for 1/4 of the total recipe 🙂
I make this recipe all the time. If I don’t have rotel I just leave it out. So good and easy. I typically use ground turkey and put a dollop of Greek yogurt on top. This is a kid friendly meal too!
Thanks Chelsea!
This was delicious. 2 of us doing Whole 30 and 2 are not. So having the wraps for them was a nice option. The avocado slices on top are a great add on.
Super easy & delicious dinner! The leftovers are great for lunches too!
I totally enjoyed this recipe! Used ground turkey instead of beef since my wife doesn’t eat red meat. We didn’t have the tomatoes with diced chilies, so instead I used a cup of leftover tomato purée and two chilies in adobo with a teaspoon of the adobo sauce. I make my own taco seasoning which was almost the same as the recipe. The recipe’s amounts seemed like a lot for the dish. Served it with sliced avocado. It was delicious and filling! Even my picky eater son ate two tacos.
Thanks Eric! Happy it worked out with your substitutes!
Started Whole30 today and this recipe was so QUICK and easy to make it’s going to be a staple meal throughout my Whole30! You can use it as is to create your own burrito bowl, use it to make a taco salad, or even to spice up eggs in the morning! I’m so excited to add this to my rotation even when not doing a Whole30! Thanks for this delicious recipe, Mary!
