Description
A savory, satisfying breakfast bowl packed with protein and vibrant vegetables, perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekends.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken (or beef, turkey, or plant-based protein)
- 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, adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes until it’s no longer pink and lightly browned.
- Drain excess fat, add taco seasoning, and 2-3 tablespoons of water. Stir for 2 minutes until meat is evenly coated.
- Remove from heat and let the seasoned protein rest for 5 minutes.
- If using frozen cauliflower rice, microwave it for 4-5 minutes. For fresh cauliflower rice, sauté in a dry skillet for 3-4 minutes.
- Layer bowls: Place chopped romaine, cauliflower rice, seasoned protein, avocado, tomatoes, onion, cheese, and cilantro.
- Top with sour cream, salsa, minced jalapeño, and lime juice before serving.
Notes
Storage: Store components separately in airtight containers. Cooked protein lasts 3-4 days in the fridge.
