Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen riced cauliflower, thawed and drained
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • ½ cup shredded pepper Jack cheese, divided
  • ½ medium zucchini, sliced
  • ½ medium yellow squash, sliced
  • 2 medium Roma tomatoes, sliced and drained
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 slices lime
  • 4 sprigs cilantro

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Oil a 7×10-inch, 2-quart baking dish.

Step 2
Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet until it shimmers. Add onion and taco seasoning; cook and stir until onion begins to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 3
Remove from heat and stir in riced cauliflower. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4
Stir together eggs and cream in a bowl until well blended; pour over the cauliflower mixture and gently work it in until it surrounds the cauliflower mixture. Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated pepper Jack cheese on top.

Step 5
Place alternating slices of zucchini, yellow squash, and tomato on top of the cheese layer. Drizzle vegetables with remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cheese on top of the vegetables and bake for 10 more minutes. Garnish with lime and cilantro.
