Ingredients
Method
Cooking the Protein
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5–6 minutes until it’s no longer pink and lightly browned.
- Drain any excess fat, then sprinkle in the taco seasoning with 2-3 tablespoons of water. Stir constantly for 2 minutes until the meat is evenly coated and the liquid mostly evaporates.
- Remove the seasoned protein from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes while preparing the other toppings.
Preparing Cauliflower Rice
- If using frozen cauliflower rice, microwave it for 4–5 minutes until heated.
- For fresh, sauté in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until tender but still firm.
- Let it cool a bit to keep the lettuce crisp.
Assembling the Bowl
- Layer the chopped romaine in serving bowls, add the cauliflower rice, then pile on the seasoned protein, diced avocado, tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and cilantro.
- Top each bowl with dollops of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, minced jalapeño to taste, and a generous squeeze of lime juice before serving.
Notes
This burrito bowl keeps well for about 3-4 days in the fridge. Store toppings separately to maintain texture.
