Description
A quick and filling breakfast bowl featuring creamy avocado, crispy cauliflower rice, and perfectly seasoned protein, ideal for starting your day off right.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken (or beef, turkey, plant-based)
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 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)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add a splash of oil and brown the ground chicken until edges are golden and slightly crisp.
- Add taco seasoning and a splash of water; stir until glossy.
- Push meat to one side and add cauliflower rice in an even layer; press slightly and let it sit untouched for 2–3 minutes to develop crispy bottoms, then toss and repeat until most pieces have golden edges.
- Stir meat and rice together, taste for seasoning and sprinkle half the cheese if using.
- Build bowls by layering chopped romaine, warm meat and cauliflower rice, followed by scattering tomatoes, red onion, and avocado.
- Add cilantro, a dollop of sour cream and salsa, then finish with lime juice and jalapeño. Sprinkle remaining cheese if desired.
Notes
Dry fresh cauliflower rice to avoid moisture that can hinder crispness. Use full-fat ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
