Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet; cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to meld with the beef.
While the beef is cooking, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in another skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice, stirring occasionally, and cook until the rice is heated through and slightly tender, about 5-7 minutes.
To assemble the naked burrito, divide the cauliflower rice among four bowls.
Top each with equal portions of the seasoned beef mixture, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
If using, sprinkle each serving with shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
Serve each naked burrito with lime wedges on the side for squeezing fresh lime juice over the top before eating. Enjoy!
