Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Drain any excess fat and return the skillet to the stove. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Add the diced red and green bell peppers to the skillet and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the peppers are tender.
In a separate pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the diced tomatoes until slightly softened, about 2-3 minutes, then set aside.
To assemble the keto naked burritos, divide the shredded romaine lettuce evenly among four bowls as the base.
Top each bowl with an equal amount of the cooked beef mixture, sautéed tomatoes, slices of avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Finish with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and jalapeño slices if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful keto-friendly naked burrito!
