To make this keto-friendly casserole, start by cooking the frozen cauliflower rice according to the package instructions and setting it aside.

Then, in a large bowl, season the sliced steak with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and chipotle powder, and set it aside.

In a cast-iron skillet or another large oven-proof skillet, on medium-high heat, add the olive oil and cook the garlic, onions, and bell peppers until they begin to soften and become translucent. Then, stir in canned tomatoes and the water.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Add the seasoned steak to the vegetable mixture and cook it for about 3 minutes.

Then, add the cauliflower rice and combine well.

Next, top with the shredded cheese and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until bubbly.

Garnish the casserole with sour cream, green onions, and chopped cilantro.

Customize with your favorite Mexican toppings, like sliced jalapenos, guacamole, and keto-friendly salsa!

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 weeks.
