Description
A quick and delicious breakfast burrito bowl that’s low in carbs and high in protein, perfect for any time of day.
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; adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground chicken. Break it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks for 5-6 minutes.
- Drain any excess fat, then add the taco seasoning and 2-3 tablespoons of water. Stir for about 2 minutes until the meat is evenly coated and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
- Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- If using frozen cauliflower rice, microwave for 4-5 minutes. For fresh, sauté in a dry skillet for 3-4 minutes.
- In serving bowls, layer the chopped romaine, cauliflower rice, seasoned protein, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and cilantro.
- Top with sour cream, salsa, minced jalapeño, and lime juice just before serving.
Notes
Customize your burrito bowl by swapping proteins or adding your favorite toppings. Store leftovers separately for best freshness.
