Is this really low carb?
It is lower carb than traditional tacos since there are no tortillas or rice. Exact carbs depend on your taco seasoning, tomatoes, and whether you add beans. If you are tracking closely, check labels for added sugar and portion sizes.
Do you have nutrition info?
Nutrition varies by brand, but for a rough ballpark, 1 of 4 servings (with the yogurt sauce and without the optional beans) lands around 350 to 450 calories, 35 to 45 g protein, and 15 to 25 g net carbs. Add the optional beans and carbs will go up. For exact numbers, plug your specific ingredients into a calculator.
Can I swap the turkey for something else?
Absolutely. Lean ground chicken works great. Ground beef works too, but choose a leaner blend if you want to keep it lighter. If you use higher-fat beef, drain excess fat before adding the cauliflower rice so it does not get greasy.
Black soy beans? What are those, and can I use black beans?
Black soy beans are a lower-carb bean option that is sometimes sold canned (often in the natural foods aisle or online). If you cannot find them, swap in black beans or pinto beans. Same cozy vibe, just a bit higher in carbs.
How do I keep cauliflower rice from getting watery?
Two tricks: use high heat and do not over-stir. Also, if you are using frozen cauliflower rice, cook it uncovered so steam can escape. If it is very icy, you can microwave it for a minute or two, then blot or squeeze out excess water before adding.
What can I use instead of Greek yogurt?
Sour cream works. For dairy-free, try an unsweetened dairy-free yogurt or skip the creamy sauce and finish with extra lime, avocado, and cilantro.
Can I make it spicier without making it bitter?
Yes. Add chipotle in adobo (start with 1 teaspoon minced) or a pinch of cayenne. Taste as you go, and balance with lime and a small pinch of salt.
