These burrito bowls have all the flavor of a fully loaded burrito but they're better for you! Each bowl is layered with cauliflower rice, fresh greens, tomatoes, sautéed peppers and onions, chicken, guacamole, salsa, and fresh cilantro to create a delicious healthy meal.
4cupsromaine lettuce or mixed greens, chopped if using romaine
1medium or large tomato, chopped
1/2cupsalsa
1/4cupfresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil to skillet and heat on medium-high heat. Unless your chicken breasts are already fairly thin slice them horizontally. This will give you very thin cutlets so they’ll cook faster and more evenly. Add chicken to hot pan. Sprinkle salt, chili powder, and garlic powder on top of each cutlet. Cook until browned, about 4 or 5 minutes. Flip chicken. Cook until chicken is cooked through, about another 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from skillet, chop or shred, and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of oil to skillet along with sliced peppers and onions. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're tender. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium. Add another tablespoon of oil to skillet if needed. (You may find that you're good without it.) Once the pan is hot add your riced cauliflower. Sprinkle salt and garlic powder. Cover and allow to cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in lime juice. Taste and add more salt or lime juice as desired.
Meanwhile, half and scoop out the inside of your avocados. Add to a medium bowl bowl. Mash your avocados until your guacamole is as smooth as you like. Add salt, garlic powder, and lime juice to taste.
To assemble, layer lettuce, cauliflower rice, and chicken in bowls. Top with sautéed onions and peppers, guacamole, tomatoes, salsa, and chopped cilantro.
