Easy Low Carb Burrito Bowl

Print Recipe

A filling and protein-packed low carb burrito bowl that can be made in about 25 minutes, perfect for breakfast or a quick meal.

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

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks for 5-6 minutes until no pink remains and it’s lightly browned.
  2. Drain any excess fat, then add the taco seasoning packet with 2-3 tablespoons of water. Stir constantly for 2 minutes until the meat is evenly coated and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
  3. Remove the seasoned protein from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes while you prepare the other components.
  4. If using frozen cauliflower rice, microwave for 4-5 minutes until heated through. For fresh cauliflower rice, heat a dry skillet over medium heat and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender but still firm.
  5. Layer the chopped romaine in serving bowls, add a portion of cauliflower rice alongside, then top with the seasoned protein, diced avocado, tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and cilantro.
  6. Finish each bowl with dollops of sour cream, a generous spoonful of salsa, minced jalapeño to taste, and a fresh squeeze of lime juice just before serving.

Notes

Store components separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the protein and cauliflower rice before assembling.
