Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups cauliflower rice
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 1 whole avocado, sliced
- 1 whole lime, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole avocado
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt, for dressing
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until it is browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the meat in the spices, then turn off the heat and set aside.
In a separate skillet, cook the cauliflower rice over medium heat for 5 minutes to soften, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, microwave the cauliflower rice in a safe container for 3-4 minutes until tender.
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 avocado, lime juice, extra-virgin olive oil, garlic powder, water, and sea salt for the dressing. Blend until smooth, adding more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Assemble the taco bowls: divide the cauliflower rice between 4 bowls as the base.
Top each bowl with equal portions of the seasoned meat, chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro.
Drizzle the avocado lime dressing over each bowl, then garnish with lime wedges on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and flavorful Paleo Taco Bowl!
