Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add ground chicken, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned.
  2. Once the chicken is cooked, drain any excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and 2-3 tablespoons of water, mixing thoroughly. Cook for 2 minutes until evaporated.
  3. Remove skillet from heat and let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes.
  4. Prepare cauliflower rice by microwaving frozen florets or sautéing fresh ones in the skillet for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  5. Assemble the burrito bowl: layer chopped romaine lettuce, followed by cauliflower rice and seasoned ground chicken.
  6. Top with diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely diced red onion.
  7. Drizzle with salsa, add sour cream, sprinkle cheese, minced jalapeño, and finish with lime juice.
