Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the cumin powder, chili powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the beef is evenly coated with the spices.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring occasionally, and cook for about 5 minutes until it is warmed through and slightly tender.
To serve, divide the cauliflower rice among four bowls.
Top each bowl with the beef mixture, followed by diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced jalapeños if using.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Naked Burrito!
