With chopped tomatoes, jalapeños, black beans, and cumin, this flavorful chicken and cauliflower rice skillet channels some serious Tex-Mex vibes. It's already super easy to throw together, but if you want to make them even easier, you could use store-bought rice cauliflower. Got leftover chicken fajitas or grilled steak? Swap out the shredded rotisserie chicken. Or skip the meat and make it a vegetarian. There's lots of room to play around.
