Description
A nutritious and flavorful burrito bowl that’s quick to prepare, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken (or beef, turkey, or plant-based protein)
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 3 cups cauliflower rice
- 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)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat and use a wooden spoon to break it up as it cooks for 5-6 minutes until no pink remains, and it’s lightly browned.
- Drain any excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning with 2-3 tablespoons of water. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly until the meat is fully coated, and the liquid mostly evaporates.
- Remove from heat and let the seasoned protein sit for 5 minutes to develop flavors.
- Prepare cauliflower rice; microwave it for 4-5 minutes if frozen, or sauté in a dry skillet for 3-4 minutes if fresh.
- Layer the chopped romaine in serving bowls, followed by the cauliflower rice. Top with the seasoned protein, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and cilantro.
- Add dollops of sour cream and a generous spoonful of salsa. Sprinkle with minced jalapeño and squeeze fresh lime juice over each bowl just before serving.
