Description
A quick and delicious low carb burrito bowl packed with protein and fresh ingredients, perfect for breakfast or any meal.
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 to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until no longer pink and lightly browned.
- Drain excess fat from the skillet. Add taco seasoning and 2-3 tablespoons of water to the chicken. Stir for 2 minutes until evenly coated.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
- If using frozen cauliflower rice, microwave for 4-5 minutes until heated through. If using fresh, sauté in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until tender but firm.
- Layer chopped romaine lettuce into serving bowls, then add cauliflower rice, seasoned protein, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro.
- Finish with dollops of sour cream, salsa, jalapeño, and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
