700 square feet isn’t a lot of space for stocking up for months’ supply of toilet paper, loading up the freezer with meats and the pantry with cans of non-perishables and bags of rice, or dance parties featuring more than two people and a dog; however, it doesn’t mean you need to compromise on a healthy and hearty meal.

Ingredients

• 8.5 oz cauliflower rice 1 package, cook accordingly
• 2 cups roasted chicken meat chopped (or you can use cooked ground beef/turkey; or, make it vegetarian and omit this step)
• 1 can black beans drained and dried (or for a lower-carb option, omit this step)
• 1 can enchilada sauce or 6-9 oz of any “sauce” you’d like
• 2 cup shredded cheese or try it with feta or any crumbly cheese for some different flavors!
• our choice of seasonings

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Toss cooked cauliflower rice, chicken/meat, beans, sauce, seasonings and any other fun pantry items (we added a can of green chilis and drained jalapenos because we like it spicy) into a 9×9 baking dish (or any size, really…this is all we have). Top with 1 cup of cheese evenly spread out.
• Bake for 15-20 mins.
• Take out, stir it up, top with more cheese and anything else you want (we added chopped tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, and green onions). Bake for another 5 mins or so.
• Here’s the fun and versatile part. Now you can crumble some tortilla chips on top, dollop on some sour cream, eat as a dip with crackers, or fold up into tortilla for a burrito.
• If you want this to be more of a chili, add in a can of tomatoes and a 16 oz box of bone broth (or any stock) to the first step, and omit the cheese until the end. Cook on the stovetop for about 20 mins.
