- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1/3 red pepper, chopped
- 1/3 green pepper, chopped
- 1/3 yellow pepper, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced

Directions:
1.) In a large frying pan, heat the oil. Add the red onion, peppers, tomato, and garlic. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the onions begin to sweat and become translucent. Add the cauliflower rice, and cook for 5 – 7 minutes until cooked through. Add the chicken, cumin, and paprika, and cook until heated through, and any juices that are left from the tomatoes has cooked off (about another 3-5 minutes).
