Steak Rollups with Mexican Cauli Rice Second

For this recipe, flank steak cut lengthwise is used, making it easy to roll up. Get your kids involved to help roll up the steak with the cheese for a fun and interactive family activity. Steak is one of the most protein-rich foods, and the high heme iron concentration can help prevent iron deficiency. It also pairs perfectly with light and fresh cauliflower rice.

You’ll notice a nice golden sear develops after placing the steak rolls on the skillet. The slightly charred flavor compliments the melty mozzarella cheese. We like to use mozzarella cheese as it melts and stretches well, but you can always substitute it for a different cheese based on your taste preferences. Cheddar or brie can be good alternatives!

The cauliflower rice is nicely spiced and provides a slight kick with a jalapeno. If you’re good with spice, add an extra jalapeno. If you don’t like spicy food, take it out. The best part of this recipe is how easy it is to substitute ingredients based on what you want.
