Description
A protein-packed, low-carb burrito bowl that’s quick to prepare and full of flavor, ideal for breakfast or meal prep.
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 and add the ground chicken. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks for 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. Stir constantly for 2 minutes until the meat is fully coated and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
- Remove the seasoned protein from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- If using frozen cauliflower rice, microwave for 4-5 minutes until heated. For fresh cauliflower rice, sauté in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until tender.
- Layer the chopped romaine in serving bowls, then add cauliflower rice, seasoned protein, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and cilantro.
- Top with sour cream, salsa, minced jalapeño, and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
Notes
Adjust jalapeño for spice level; use fresh vegetables for better flavor.
