Description
Taco Bowls are a customizable, healthy, and flavorful meal featuring seasoned meat, fresh vegetables, and tangy toppings, all served in a bowl for a mess-free, low-carb twist on traditional tacos.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef, turkey, or chicken
 - 1 tbsp olive oil
 - 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade seasoning: 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, salt and pepper to taste)
 - 1 cup cauliflower rice (or regular rice, if preferred)
 - 1 cup lettuce, shredded
 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
 - 1/2 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
 - 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
 - 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
 - 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
 - 1/4 cup guacamole (optional)
 - Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
 - 1 lime, cut into wedges
 
Instructions
Cook the Meat: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning (and a bit of water, if needed) and stir to coat the meat. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Prepare the Cauliflower Rice: In the same skillet or another pan, cook the cauliflower rice over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If using regular rice, simply cook according to package instructions.
 - Assemble the Bowls: In each bowl, layer the cauliflower rice, seasoned meat, shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, corn, and red onion.
 - Add the Toppings: Top each bowl with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, guacamole, and fresh cilantro. Squeeze lime wedges over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
 - Serve: Serve immediately, or store in meal prep containers for later.
 
Notes
- For extra protein, add grilled chicken, shrimp, or even black beans for a vegetarian version.
 - For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños, hot sauce, or red pepper flakes to the meat or toppings.
 - Use avocado or a mix of greens like spinach for a heartier version of the salad base.
 - If you prefer traditional rice, swap cauliflower rice for white or brown rice.
