Ingredients
- 1 pound Grass-fed ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 8 large pieces Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 cup Homemade guacamole
- 1 cup Salsa
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
Instructions
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until it's translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until it’s browned, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and coconut aminos, mixing well to combine the flavors.
In a separate pan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat and add the cauliflower rice.
Cook and stir the cauliflower rice for about 5 minutes until it’s tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves to create the 'burrito' wraps.
Lay a lettuce leaf flat and spoon in a layer of cooked cauliflower rice.
Add a layer of the seasoned beef mixture.
Top with a spoonful of guacamole and a spoonful of salsa.
Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top.
Fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the fillings to enclose them as much as possible.
Repeat the assembly process with the remaining ingredients to make additional 'burritos'.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Beefy Five Layer Burrito!
