A nutritious and customizable breakfast burrito bowl packed with protein and low in carbs, 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 and add the ground chicken. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until light brown and no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
- Add taco seasoning and 2-3 tablespoons of water to the skillet. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes, ensuring the meat is evenly coated.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the seasoned protein rest for 5 minutes.
- If using frozen cauliflower rice, microwave it for 4-5 minutes. For fresh, sauté in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until tender.
- In serving bowls, layer chopped romaine lettuce, followed by cauliflower rice, seasoned protein, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and cilantro.
- Top each bowl with sour cream, salsa, minced jalapeño, and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
