Description
Ultimate Low Carb Taco Bowl That Beats Every Burrito
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 and add the ground protein of your choice. Cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until no pink remains and the meat develops a nice golden-brown color.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning packet over the cooked protein and add 2-3 tablespoons of water. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the seasoning coats every piece and becomes fragrant.
- Add the cauliflower rice directly to the skillet with the seasoned protein. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is heated through.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the protein-cauliflower mixture cool slightly while you prepare the fresh toppings.
- Assemble your bowls by layering the chopped romaine lettuce as the base, then spooning the warm protein and cauliflower mixture on top.
- Top each bowl with diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, and shredded Mexican cheese blend. Sprinkle fresh cilantro and minced jalapeño over everything.
- Finish with dollops of sugar-free salsa and full-fat sour cream, then drizzle fresh lime juice over the entire bowl.
