Description
A savory blend of seasoned ground chicken atop fluffy cauliflower rice, paired with fresh vegetables and a zesty lime drizzle for a delicious low-carb breakfast.
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)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and break it apart as it cooks. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes until no pink remains.
- Drain any excess fat, sprinkle in the taco seasoning, and add 2-3 tablespoons of water. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove the protein from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- If using frozen cauliflower rice, microwave for 4-5 minutes. If fresh, sauté for 3-4 minutes in a dry skillet.
- To assemble, layer the chopped romaine at the bottom of a bowl, add a portion of cauliflower rice, and top with the seasoned protein.
- Arrange the diced avocado, halved tomatoes, diced red onion, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro on top.
- Finish with sour cream, salsa, minced jalapeño, and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
Notes
Meal prep the seasoned meat and cauliflower rice in advance for a quick breakfast. Customize toppings according to your preferences.
