Instructions
Toss the chicken in the taco seasoning and let stand for 10 minutes.
Saute it in a little olive oil, until just barely done.
Add the onions and jalapeno or chilies and continue to cook until the onion is tender.

Whisk the cream cheese and cream over low heat until they are smooth.
Test flavor and add salt if needed.
Add the cilantro.
Mix the cheese sauce into the chicken and set aside in a warm spot.
Topping
Steam the cauliflower until very soft.
Add the cream and a pinch of salt.
Mash thoroughly with a fork.
Add 1 tablespoon of the cheese into the mashed cauliflower.
Use the other tablespoon to sprinkle on top of the casserole.
Assembly
Spoon the chicken mixture into a small, microwave safe dish.
Add the cauliflower mash to the top.
Sprinkle with cheese.
Microwave or heat in the oven just until the cheese melts and the dish is warmed through.
