- In a frying pan, add the olive oil and cook the onion and red pepper on medium heat until soft. Add the ground meat and cook for 2 minutes, just until browned.Add all of the spices and water and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until all of the water has evaporated. Set the meat aside. Don't wash the pan, you'll use it in the next step.

Cauliflower Rice

- Instead of ground beef, you can use ground pork, ground chicken or ground turkey.
