Low-Carb Burrito Bowl

Print Recipe

A quick and satisfying low-carb burrito bowl featuring seasoned meat, cauliflower rice, and fresh toppings without the tortilla.

Ingredients

  • 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)
  • 1/2 cup red onion (finely diced)
  • 1 cup Mexican cheese blend (shredded)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free salsa
  • 1/4 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. Add the ground chicken and break it apart. Cook for 5–6 minutes until browned.
  2. Drain excess fat from the skillet. Return the meat to the pan, sprinkle the taco seasoning, and add 2–3 tablespoons of water. Stir for about 2 minutes until coated and liquid evaporated.
  3. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. If frozen, microwave cauliflower rice for 4–5 minutes; if fresh, sauté in a dry skillet for 3–4 minutes.
  5. Let cauliflower rice cool slightly. Divide chopped romaine in bowls, then add a portion of cauliflower rice, followed by the seasoned meat.
  6. Top with diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and cilantro.
  7. Dollop sour cream, sugar-free salsa, minced jalapeño, and lime juice before serving.

Notes

Use ground beef or turkey for different flavors. For extra veggies, add roasted peppers or shredded cabbage. Dairy-free options are available.
