Protein-rich burrito bowl with chicken, cauliflower rice, and Tex-Mex toppings, perfect for a speedy, energizing breakfast.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Protein

01 - 450 g ground chicken, or substitute with ground beef, turkey, or plant-based protein
02 - 1 packet taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

→ Grains & Vegetables

03 - 720 ml cauliflower rice, fresh or frozen
04 - 320 g romaine lettuce, chopped
05 - 1 large avocado, diced
06 - 150 g cherry tomatoes, halved
07 - 80 g red onion, finely diced

→ Cheese & Dairy

08 - 110 g Mexican cheese blend, shredded
09 - 60 ml full-fat sour cream

→ Toppings

10 - 10 g fresh cilantro, chopped
11 - 120 ml sugar-free salsa
12 - 1 whole jalapeño, minced (adjust to taste)
13 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and break apart with a wooden spoon. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned.
02 - Drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning with 30–45 ml water. Stir continuously for 2 minutes until meat is evenly coated and most liquid has evaporated.
03 - Remove skillet from heat and allow seasoned protein to rest for 5 minutes to enhance flavour development.
04 - If using frozen cauliflower rice, microwave for 4–5 minutes until heated through. For fresh, sauté in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until tender yet firm. Cool slightly to prevent lettuce wilting.
05 - Layer romaine lettuce in serving bowls. Add cauliflower rice, then top with seasoned protein, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and chopped cilantro.
06 - Finish each bowl with sour cream, salsa, minced jalapeño as desired, and a squeeze of lime juice immediately before serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Prepare protein in advance and freeze leftovers for convenient future meals.
02 - Chop vegetables ahead of time but keep avocado whole until ready to serve to preserve freshness.
03 - Store all components separately in airtight containers for best texture retention.
