Cilantro Lime Burrito Bowls

Think Chipotle, but way healthier! These are super easy to customize to your family’s liking, so feel free to add in different ingredients or leave certain thing out. I like mine with beef, but eating these without meat, or with shredded chicken or ground turkey would be great too!

Ingredients:

*1/2 avocado

*1 bag of frozen riced cauliflower

*8 oz shredded cheese (I use cheddar)

*1/2 of a small bunch of cilantro (if you’re not a fan, you can easily omit this)

*1 clove of garlic

*1/2 pint of grape tomatoes

*1 lb lean ground beef

*1 lime

*1 can of drained beans (I use pinto)

*1/2 yellow onion

*black pepper

*cooking oil (or butter- I usually use olive oil)

*chili powder

*ground cumin

*dried oregano

*salt

Directions:

*Wash and dry the produce (cilantro, lime, tomatoes, avocado)

*Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat

*When the skillet is hot, add the beef and following spices: 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/4 tsp salt

*While beef is cooking, peel and mince garlic (I use the jarred kind that’s already chopped to make it that much easier). When the beef is finished cooking, add the garlic and stir. Move the meat and garlic combo to a separate bowl and cover to keep warm.

*Peel and dice onion

*On medium-high heat, saute the onion (I add more olive oil here) until it’s soft. After it’s soft, add the bag of riced cauliflower, 1/2 tsp of chili powder, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper; and cook for 5-6 minutes until rice is warm and starting to brown. Make sure and stir often so it doesn’t stick to the skillet.

*Add the meat back to the skillet with the rice and onion. Add the drained beans, cilantro and juice from the lime.

*Stir until combined/heated through.

*While the meat and rice mix is heating, halve the grape tomatoes and slice the avocado.

*Spoon the mixture into bowls and top with cheese, avocado, tomatoes and any other toppings that sound good! I think sour cream, salsa and tortilla chips would be great additions!

*Enjoy!
