Low Carb Burrito Bowl (Printable Version)

A fresh, flavorful Tex-Mex bowl with seasoned ground chicken, cauliflower rice, and zesty toppings for a satisfying low-carb meal.

# Ingredients:

→ For the protein

01 - 450g ground chicken (or ground turkey, beef, or plant-based alternative)
02 - 28g taco seasoning (1 packet)
03 - 2-3 tablespoons water

→ For the bowls

04 - 3 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
05 - 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
06 - 1 large avocado, diced
07 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
08 - ½ cup finely diced red onion
09 - 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
10 - ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
11 - ½ cup salsa (regular or sugar-free)
12 - ¼ cup sour cream
13 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
14 - 1 jalapeño, finely minced (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully cooked and lightly browned.
02 - Drain excess moisture if needed. Stir in the taco seasoning and 2–3 tablespoons of water. Cook for another 2 minutes until the meat is well coated and flavorful. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - If using frozen cauliflower rice, microwave according to package directions. If using fresh, sauté it in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until tender but not mushy. Let it cool slightly.
04 - Divide the chopped romaine between bowls. Add cauliflower rice, then top with seasoned chicken, avocado, tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and cilantro.
05 - Add a spoonful of sour cream, salsa, minced jalapeño (if using), and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - Cold toppings taste best when added after the protein cools slightly
02 - Add lime juice just before eating for the brightest flavor
03 - Dice the avocado last to prevent browning
04 - Everything can be prepped ahead and assembled fresh later
05 - Store components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days
06 - Reheat the chicken and cauliflower rice before assembling. Add fresh toppings just before serving
