Can I make this dairy-free?

This keto beef burrito bowl packs all the bold Tex-Mex flavor of your favorite burrito into a quick, grain-free bowl. Seasoned ground beef and zesty cilantro-lime cauliflower rice come together in 30 minutes for an easy weeknight lunch or meal-prep win.

Ingredients

1 lb (450g) 80/20 ground beef

1 medium head cauliflower, riced (about 4 cups)

2 tbsp olive oil, divided

1 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt, plus more to taste

1 large avocado, diced

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up, for 6-8 minutes until no pink remains. Drain excess grease if desired.

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook 2 minutes more until fragrant, then transfer the beef to a bowl and set aside.

Wipe the skillet, add 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat, and add the riced cauliflower. Sauté 6-8 minutes until tender and lightly golden.

Remove from heat and stir the lime juice and half the cilantro into the cauliflower rice. Season with salt to taste.

Divide the cilantro-lime cauliflower rice among 4 bowls. Top each with seasoned beef, diced avocado, shredded cheddar, and a dollop of sour cream.

Garnish with the remaining cilantro and serve immediately.

Tips & notes

For meal prep, store the beef and cauliflower rice together in airtight containers for up to 4 days; add the avocado, cheese, and sour cream fresh when serving.

Swap the cheddar for pepper jack and add a few pickled jalapeños for extra heat with no added carbs.

Pre-riced cauliflower (fresh or frozen) works great here and cuts the prep time in half. If using frozen, sauté a few minutes longer to drive off excess moisture.
