Description
A flavorful, protein-packed breakfast bowl that’s quick to prepare and customizable for the whole family.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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, then add the ground chicken. 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, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the protein rest for about 5 minutes.
- If using frozen cauliflower rice, microwave for 4-5 minutes; for fresh, sauté in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes.
- In serving bowls, layer chopped romaine, cauliflower rice, and top with seasoned protein. Then add avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and cilantro.
- Finish each bowl with sour cream, salsa, minced jalapeño, and lime juice.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate protein in lime juice and spices the night before. Use fresh ingredients for better taste.
