Description
A quick, healthy, and protein-packed breakfast option featuring ground chicken, fresh veggies, and creamy avocado.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken (or beef, turkey, or plant-based protein)
- 1 packet taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 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, adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground chicken. Cook for 5-6 minutes until no longer pink and lightly browned.
- Drain excess fat, add taco seasoning with 2-3 tablespoons of water, and stir for 2 minutes until evenly coated.
- Remove from heat, let the seasoned protein rest for 5 minutes.
- If using frozen cauliflower rice, microwave for 4-5 minutes. For fresh, sauté in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until tender.
- Layer chopped romaine in bowls, followed by cauliflower rice. Top with seasoned protein, avocado, tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and cilantro.
- Finish with sour cream, salsa, minced jalapeño, and lime juice just before serving.

Use fresh ingredients for best taste. Adjust spice level with jalapeño. Experiment with different proteins for variety.
