We added black beans, sour cream, and salsa for a bit more flavor but it was very good! How many calories are in a serving?

Delicious! I tweaked it a bit. I made a double recipe and used 3 bags of frozen cauliflower rice, and I used one can of diced tomatoes and one can of Rotel. I also added fresh garlic, additional onion, and a small can of diced green chilies. Served with shredded cheddar and sour cream.
