A hearty bowl with protein, fresh veggies, and bold flavors, perfect for energized mornings.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Protein

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

→ Vegetables

03 - 3 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
04 - 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
05 - 1 large avocado, diced
06 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
07 - ½ cup finely diced red onion
08 - 1 whole jalapeño, minced (adjust to taste)
09 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
10 - ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

→ Dairy

11 - 1 cup Mexican cheese blend, shredded
12 - ¼ cup full-fat sour cream

→ Condiments

13 - ½ cup sugar-free salsa

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-6 minutes until no longer pink and slightly browned.
02 - Drain excess fat from the skillet. Stir in taco seasoning and 2-3 tablespoons water. Cook, stirring for about 2 minutes until seasoning is well blended and liquid mostly evaporates.
03 - Remove skillet from heat. Let the seasoned meat rest for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
04 - If using frozen cauliflower rice, microwave for 4-5 minutes until heated through. If fresh, sauté in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until tender but not mushy. Allow to cool slightly.
05 - Layer chopped romaine lettuce as the base. Add a scoop of cauliflower rice, followed by the seasoned chicken. Top with diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and shredded cheese.
06 - Dollop with sour cream and sugar-free salsa. Sprinkle minced jalapeño to taste and finish with fresh lime juice just before serving.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - For enhanced flavor, try preparing homemade taco seasoning with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and chili powder.
02 - Using fresh, ripe avocado and vine-ripened tomatoes significantly improves taste.
03 - Prepping vegetables and ingredients ahead of time saves valuable moments on busy mornings.
