Description

A delicious breakfast bowl that can be whipped up in under 30 minutes, balancing flavors with nutritious, protein-packed ingredients and fewer carbs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground chicken, cooking for 5-6 minutes until browned.
  2. Drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning and 2-3 tablespoons of water, then stir for 2 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let the meat rest for 5 minutes.
  4. If using frozen cauliflower rice, microwave for 4-5 minutes; if fresh, sauté for 3-4 minutes in a dry skillet.
  5. Layer chopped romaine, then cauliflower rice in serving bowls, followed by the seasoned chicken, diced avocado, tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and cilantro.
  6. Top with sour cream, salsa, minced jalapeño, and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.

Notes

Customize with additional toppings like tortilla strips, and consider storing components separately to keep fresh.
