Transfer it to a greased 9x13 casserole dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
Add the ground beef, red pepper, and onion to the skillet and cook until the ground beef if browned and the veggies are starting to soften. Drain off any excess fat if needed.
Add the taco seasoning, tomato paste, pickled jalapeño juice (if using), and water to the beef mixture. Stir well and cook until all of the liquid is absorbed.
Spread the mixture evenly over the cauliflower rice in the casserole dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over top.
Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro, if desired. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing into portions and topping with desired toppings.
