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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Remove the protein from heat and let it 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. To assemble, layer the chopped romaine at the bottom of a bowl, add a portion of cauliflower rice, and top with the seasoned protein.
  6. Arrange the diced avocado, halved tomatoes, diced red onion, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro on top.
  7. 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.
