Instructions
1. Prepare the Marinade:
- 
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic, Swerve, chili powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, smoked paprika, oregano, and cilantro.
 - 
Reserve half of the marinade for vegetables.
 - 
Toss beef in the remaining marinade and let sit while preparing vegetables.
 
2. Cook the Beef:
- 
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
 - 
Cook marinated beef for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink. Remove and cover with foil.
 
3. Cook the Cauliflower Rice:
- 
Heat olive oil in a separate skillet.
 - 
Add cauliflower rice, season with salt and pepper, and cook 10-15 minutes until tender, stirring often.
 
4. Sauté the Fajita Vegetables:
- 
Using the same skillet as the beef, cook peppers and onions with 2-3 tablespoons of reserved marinade for 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
 
5. Assemble Bowls:
- 
Divide cauliflower rice among bowls.
 - 
Top with beef, sautéed vegetables, avocado, and fresh cilantro.
 - 
Drizzle with any remaining marinade if desired.
 
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice for best flavor.
 - Pre-riced cauliflower saves time and works well for this recipe.
 - Adjust red pepper flakes for milder or spicier bowls.
 - Reduce onions and peppers to lower carbs if needed.
 - Can swap beef for chicken or shrimp for a different protein option.
