Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (Paleo-friendly)
- 6 units large cabbage leaves
- 1 cup mashed avocado
- 1 cup salsa (Paleo-friendly)
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
- 0.5 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 unit lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the Paleo-friendly taco seasoning, mixing until the beef is well coated. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
In a separate pot, steam the cauliflower rice according to package instructions or until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
In a bowl, combine steamed cauliflower rice, chopped cilantro, lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Lay out the large cabbage leaves and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
On each cabbage leaf, spread a layer of mashed avocado, followed by a spoonful of the beef mixture.
Top with a scoop of cauliflower rice, followed by a tablespoon of Paleo-friendly salsa.
Fold the sides of the cabbage leaf inward, then roll up carefully from the bottom to the top to make a burrito shape. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make additional burritos.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Beefy Five Layer Burrito!
