Ohjeet

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed, oven-safe skillet over high heat with a spritz of oil. Add frozen potatoes and let them cook alone for 10-12 minutes, tossing a few times. Add zucchini, bell peppers, cauliflower rice, tomato paste, liquid smoke (if using), and dry seasonings. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all veggies are nice and tender.

Add garlic and cook for a minute. Stir in prepared meat and cottage cheese. Add water or broth and let simmer for a few minutes, then top with cheddar cheese and pop in the broiler on low for 3-5 minutes until bubbly and starting to brown.

Remove the skillet from the oven and top with green onions. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and some avocado. A little salsa or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce or jarred enchilada is also great! I love a pile of chopped romaine on top for taco salad vibes. My kids loved this served with tortilla chips or in tortillas for quesadillas. Or, of course, just enjoy it in a bowl with some toppings.
