Mexican Rice
Mexican Rice – Primal, Paleo, Clean Eating and Kid friendly
Simple meals don't have to be boring.
I have been on a mission this year to make simple but tasty meals. The aim was to create recipes that can be prepared and cooked quickly on a busy weeknight.
We all struggle to make healthy and tasty meals while keeping on top of everything else in life.
This recipe is healthy, delicious and easy to make you can cook quickly and easily. The preparation takes no more than 20 minutes, that is all of the slicing, dicing and mixing.
Each meal is portioned to feed four adults.
Mexican Rice
One quite a one pot meal
This recipe is easy to make and perfect for a busy weeknight, it isn't quite a one pot meal to cook, but you serve it in one pot, so it counts in my book. Everyone who knows me knows I have Mexican inspired meals so this should be no surprise to anyone. I love the combination of pork and beef with the cayenne and garlic, the coriander and avocado bring a fresh edge to the rich flavours of the meat. Serving it all in one pot means all the flavours party together before they reach the table.

Instructions
Use a food processor to rice the cauliflower.
Place the cauliflower rice and onion in a saucepan over medium heat with the broth.
Let the cauliflower cook for 10 minutes.
Stir the cauliflower now and then so that it does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

In another pan cook the pork and beef mince over a medium to high heat.
As the meat cooks break it up into small pieces.
Once the meat is cooked through add it to the pan with the cooked cauliflower.
Mix everything together and add the diced avocado.
Serve with salsa, guacamole and cheese.
