Description
A quick and satisfying low carb burrito bowl packed with protein and flavor, perfect for busy weeknights. Ready in just 30 minutes, this customizable bowl features seasoned ground meat, cauliflower rice, black soybeans, and fresh toppings.
Ingredients
1 lb Ground beef or turkey
4 cups Cauliflower rice
1 can (15 oz) Black soybeans (rinsed) or pinto beans
1 Red bell pepper, diced
0.5 Onion, diced
2 tbsp Taco seasoning
1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
0.5 cup Sour cream (full-fat)
1 Avocado, sliced
2 tbsp Lime juice
To taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Brown the ground meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat
- Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes until softened
- Stir in the taco seasoning. Add a splash of water if needed. Cook for 2 more minutes. Remove the meat mixture from the skillet and set aside
- In the same skillet, add the cauliflower rice. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice
- Assemble the burrito bowl: Start with a scoop of cauliflower rice, top with the seasoned meat mixture, black soybeans, shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado slices, and a final squeeze of lime. Serve immediately
Notes
For a dairy-free version, omit cheese and sour cream or use dairy-free alternatives; extra avocado works well.
To keep it keto-friendly, use black soybeans or extra cauliflower rice (omit beans).
To prevent a watery bowl, drain the cooked meat well, sauté cauliflower rice until excess moisture evaporates, and do not rinse the rice before cooking.
Leftover shredded rotisserie chicken can be used instead of ground meat; just warm it with taco seasoning.
Store components separately in airtight containers for up to 4 days; reheat meat and cauliflower in a skillet or microwave.
