1 small can diced tomatoes drained
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp chili powder optional
1 tsp cumin
1/4 cup vegetable or beef broth

Cooking Instructions
Rinse and break the cauliflower head into small florets and roughly chop in a food processor.
In a large skillet, sauté diced onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, until slightly translucent and softened.
Add lean beef to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium high heat until beef has started to brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon olive oil and sauté cauliflower rice for about 2 minutes. Stir in seasonings: onion and garlic powder, paprika, cumin and chili powder. Mix well and continue to cook for a couple of minutes.
Add diced tomatoes, black beans and vegetable broth to skillet. Bring to a simmer, and allow the vegetables and seasoning to soak up some of the broth.
