Instructions
- Step 1: Steam cauliflower florets for 10 minutes until fork-tender. Transfer to a food processor and blend with 1/2 tbsp avocado oil, 1/8 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp thyme until smooth, adding water as needed to reach mashed consistency.
- Step 2: Heat 1/2 tbsp avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add ground beef and cook for 5 minutes, breaking into crumbles, then stir in coconut aminos and remaining 1/8 tsp sea salt.
