Description
A delicious and nutritious breakfast option that’s packed with protein, ready in just 25 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken (or beef, turkey, or plant-based protein)
- 1 packet taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
- 4 cups romaine lettuce (chopped)
- 1 large avocado (diced)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.5 cup red onion (finely diced)
- 1 cup Mexican cheese blend (shredded)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 cup sugar-free salsa
- 0.25 cup full-fat sour cream
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 whole jalapeño (minced, adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon and cook for about 5-6 minutes, until no pink remains.
- Drain any excess fat, then add the taco seasoning and 2-3 tbsp of water. Stir for about 2 minutes until the meat is coated and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
- If using frozen cauliflower rice, microwave for 4-5 minutes until heated through. For fresh, sauté in a dry skillet for 3-4 minutes until tender but still firm.
- To assemble, layer chopped romaine in serving bowls, then add cauliflower rice, seasoned protein, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and cilantro.
- Finish each bowl with sour cream, salsa, jalapeño, and lime juice just before serving.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and nutrition. Customize the spice level with jalapeño based on preference.
