Beef Enchiladas with Spanish Cauliflower Rice | Low Carb | Gluten Free

Try these easy, cheesy ground Beef Enchiladas, complete with Spanish Cauliflower Rice. To make this great dish lower in carbs, I used Mission™ Carb Balance Tortillas. Each stuffed with perfectly seasoned ground beef, cheese, and enchilada sauce. For a little extra spice I topped each with sliced fresh jalapeno peppers.

The Spanish Cauliflower Rice is real simple to make with just a few ingredients. Made on the stove top by sauteing fresh or frozen cauliflower and jalapeno (or green bell) pepper, season with cumin, chili powder, and tomato sauce.

Enchiladas can be make ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator until time to bake.

Lemon Blueberry Streusel Muffins | Low Carb

How about a Lemon Blueberry Streusel Muffin for breakfast? These are loaded with goodness. Each muffin is only 3.5g net carbs and 7.5g protein. They are made with almond flour, flaxseed meal, eggs, lemon, and fresh blueberries. They are moist, not eggy or dense like some low carb muffins can be.

The basic muffin recipe is very versatile, instead of blueberries, you can add raspberries, mixed berries, strawberries, walnuts, sugar-free chocolate chips, coconut, or make into a lemon poppy seed muffin. The variations are endless.

I've made these several times. They are one my favorites. They are best after cooling a few hours, and even better the next day. Add a bit of Kerrygold butter. Mmm, mmm, good!
