Directions
Preheat oven to 350.
To create cauliflower rice grate or pulse florets in a food processor, and microwave or steam pieces until slightly firm.
Drain excess water and set cauliflower rice aside
Cook ground beef over medium high heat until browned, 7-10 minutes. Drain and stir in the tomato sauce, and taco seasoning.
In a mixing bowl, stir together the cottage cheese and sour cream. Mix in the sliced green onions.
Pour the sour cream mixture into the cauliflower rice (that's in the casserole dish) and mix well.
