Hello!
Here’s another crazy-easy and tasty recipe that we’ve made non-stop lately. It only requires three ingredients– ok, technically, four because you do not want to miss out on the guacamole– and comes together in no time at all. (You can also make this meal ahead of time and just reheat it, which is what we do for a super fast weeknight dinner.)
This recipe combines one of my newest obsessions, Trader Joe’s jarred Cowboy Caviar, with ground beef, cauliflower rice (also, obsessed), and a big ol’ scoop of guacamole, which, in my opinion totally MAKES the meal. I hope you guys enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
Cowboy Caviar Cauliflower Rice Bowl

Cauliflower rice bowls are one of my go to weeknight dinners! If you want some other ideas to add, I recently wrote about some of my favorites: http://theblueeyedperspective.com/?p=581 I’ll def have to try the cowboy caviar salsa next time.
There is nothing better than a meal that comes together in a flash with minimal ingredients. I love how you use Trader Joe’s gems to make this dish. The perfect on the go meal!
Yum! This sounds so good! I’m not a beef eater but I’m sure I could do this with turkey or ground chicken. I love how Murphy’s creeping up on the food here!
I’m curious about the cauliflower rice. Do you buy it or rice it yourself? Do you use a box grater? Thanks!
I buy it!
These are the best recipes ever! I still make your ground meat, shredded brussel sprouts, feta dish all of the time!
Love that this one skips the cheese too!
@Colleen: Could you post this recipe or share the link? Thank you!
This looks so tasty! Easy, fast meals for weekdays like this one are my fave.
Yum! I’ve never tried the cowboy caviar at TJs before but I love mixing ground meat with salsa or enchilada sauce for a healthy Mexican bowl or
Salad!
This looks delicious! I’ve made my own cauliflower rice because we don’t have the bagged kind so I hope that tastes equally as good!
I’m seriously considering switching up what I’m making this week to include this!
So was Murphy not interested in the food, or was he pouting because he wanted it and couldn’t have it? 🙂 I have cauliflower rice at home but not the other ingredients; I have a meeting tonight just behind TJ’s so I might have to stop on my way home! Heck, I could even throw this together when I get home!
He was pouting! 🙂
Cauliflower rice bowls are one of my busy-night faves – simple, delicious, and topped with guacamole. Doesn’t get much better than that!
OMG that looks amazing. I’ve been on a ground beef kick lately, and I’ve been meaning to look for the riced cauliflower at Trader Joe’s! Definitely making this ASAP!
Ah! Just 4 ingredients?? This recipe look DIVINE and easy enough for me to make! Thanks for sharing. Plus, this gives me an excuse to go to Trader Joe’s again 🙂
Oh Man, this is my favorite. I use Turkey instead of beef and my own veggies and sauce but I need to get some Cowboy Caviar. That makes it So Easy!
So funny – I literally made the same thing for dinner last night! I add onions to the cauliflower rice along with a bit of chicken broth (because sometimes cauliflower rice is a bit bland for me) – but your simple recipe is legit! LOVE Cowboy Caviar (ps, it’s good on fish tacos, too – try it!)
Yay for easy AND delicious meals! This may be happening in a kitchen near me….
Tina,
Looks delicious. Quick question. Did you use the frozen or refrigerator riced cauliflower? I have found in some recipes using frozen v.s fridge has made a difference. I’m thinking this one does not matter but wanted to check…Can’t wait to try it out.
Thanks!
Either fresh or frozen work! 🙂
I love making cauliflower rice! I like to put turmeric in mine or using it in my stir-fry.
Made this tonight. YUM! And simple, which is very important to me.
Yayyyy! 🙂
Just went to trader joe’s, thought about this post, and picked up ground beef and the cowboy caviar! So excited because I haven’t really been inspired to cook lately–thanks! 🙂 I’ve found that cauliflower rice doesn’t quite sit right with me ( boo 🙁 ) so this will go on a quinoa/spinach bowl instead!
