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)
- 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. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until it’s no longer pink and lightly browned.
- Drain excess fat and sprinkle taco seasoning over the meat, adding 2-3 tablespoons of water. Stir for roughly 2 minutes until well-coated and most liquid evaporates.
- Remove from heat and let the seasoned chicken rest for 5 minutes.
- If using frozen cauliflower rice, microwave for 4-5 minutes until heated through. If fresh, sauté in a dry skillet for about 3-4 minutes until tender but firm.
- In serving bowls, layer chopped romaine lettuce followed by cauliflower rice, then top with seasoned chicken, diced avocado, tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and cilantro.
- Finish each bowl with sour cream, salsa, minced jalapeño, and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
Notes
Allow the seasoned chicken to rest for best flavor. You can prep ingredients in advance for quick assembly.
