Ingredients

For the Base

1 lb Ground chicken Lean protein source; for variation, substitute with turkey, beef, or plant-based protein.
2 tbsp Taco seasoning Adds flavor; homemade or store-bought options for convenience.
4 cups Cauliflower rice Low-carb base that absorbs flavors; use fresh or frozen as per preference.

For the Fresh Toppings

2 cups Romaine lettuce Adds crunch and freshness; chop just before serving.
1 medium Avocado Provides a creamy texture and healthy fats; squeeze lime juice to keep it fresh.
1 cup Cherry tomatoes Their sweetness adds freshness; halve for presentation.
1 small Red onion Imparts sharpness; soak in water for milder taste.
0.5 cup Fresh cilantro A bright herb that enhances all flavors; adjust to taste.

For the Finishing Touches

1 cup Mexican cheese blend Rich flavor; melt slightly over warm ingredients.
0.5 cup Sugar-free salsa Keeps carbs low; choose heat level based on preference.
0.5 cup Full-fat sour cream Adds creaminess; opt for Greek yogurt for lighter version.
2 tbsp Fresh lime juice Brightens and prevents browning of toppings.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Add the ground chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking apart until evenly browned.
Drain excess fat, sprinkle in taco seasoning, add 2-3 tablespoons of water, and stir well for about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the seasoned chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Prepare cauliflower rice as per instructions; microwave frozen or sauté fresh until slightly tender.
Assemble bowls by layering chopped romaine, warm cauliflower rice, seasoned chicken, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro.
Finish each bowl with sour cream, salsa, minced jalapeño, and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
