Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef or chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced or mashed
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Optional: 1 cup cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then your ground beef or chicken. Cook until browned (about 6-8 minutes), breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
  2. Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the meat. Stir well to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then set aside.
  3. Chop romaine lettuce, halve cherry tomatoes, dice bell peppers, and finely chop red onion. Set each ingredient aside in separate bowls for easy assembly.
  4. Optional: If using cauliflower rice, sauté it in the same skillet with a pinch of salt and pepper for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Start with a bed of romaine lettuce or cauliflower rice. Add the seasoned protein, followed by bell peppers, tomatoes, and red onion.
  6. Garnish with sliced avocado, shredded cheese, dollops of sour cream, fresh salsa, and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcrowd the skillet to ensure a nice sear on the protein.’, ‘Taste and adjust seasoning as you go for balanced flavors.’, ‘Prep ingredients ahead of time and store separately for freshness.’, ‘Dry romaine lettuce thoroughly to avoid soggy bowls.’, ‘Balance toppings with creamy, crunchy, and spicy elements for the best flavor.’]
