Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Oil a 7x10-inch, 2-quart baking dish.

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.

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.
