Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the cauliflower rice cooks, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken pieces and mix well to coat evenly.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken and cook for about 7-10 minutes or until fully cooked, stirring occasionally.
Add the chopped chipotle peppers and any extra adobo sauce to the chicken. Stir to mix well. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado and mix it with lime juice and a pinch of salt to make guacamole.
To assemble the burrito bowls, place a layer of cauliflower rice at the bottom of each bowl. Top with a portion of chipotle chicken.
Add a handful of chopped romaine lettuce, a spoonful of guacamole, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Finish with halved cherry tomatoes and a garnish of fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Chipotle Burrito Bowl!
