Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it apart until fully browned.
  2. Once the chicken is cooked, drain any excess fat. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the meat and add 2-3 tablespoons of water. Stir for about 2 minutes until evenly coated.
  3. Remove the skillet from heat and let the seasoned chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow flavors to deepen.
  4. Prepare the cauliflower rice: microwave frozen for 4-5 minutes or sauté fresh for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  5. Layer serving bowls with romaine lettuce, followed by cauliflower rice and seasoned ground chicken.
  6. Top with diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely diced red onion. Sprinkle shredded cheese and chopped cilantro on top.
  7. Finish with a dollop of sour cream and spoonful of salsa. Add minced jalapeño and squeeze fresh lime juice over bowls.
