Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a leaner option)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne (optional, for heat)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack work great)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Lower the heat to medium and stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spices are fragrant. Set aside.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Set aside.
  4. Chop the romaine lettuce, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber and avocado, and chop the red onion. Keep them in separate bowls or combine in a large mixing bowl for convenience.
  5. Divide the romaine lettuce evenly among serving bowls. Top with cooked ground meat, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, red onion, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro.
  6. Finish each bowl with a generous drizzle of the zesty crema. You can also serve it on the side for dipping.
  7. Enjoy your Loaded Keto Burrito Bowl while it’s fresh for the best flavor and texture!
