Ingredients for low carb burrito bowl

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 152 grams of chopped romaine lettuce
• 1 cup of cilantro lime cauliflower rice
• ½ cup of pico de gallo
• 1/2 cup of guacamole
• 1/2 cup of fajita veggies
• 1 cup of shredded cheese
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper or an alternative to cayenne pepper
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ black pepper

How to make keto burrito bowl with chicken

To start, gather all of the ingredients in one place. All the elements for the burrito bowl, except the chicken and lettuce should already be made and portioned out. 

You can find easy recipes for each burrito bowl element here:

• Pico de gallo
• Chipotle cauliflower rice
• Fajita veggies
• Guacamole 

Once you’re done making these, complete these other steps. 

Cook the chicken

Make a seasoning mix with 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp onion powder, ¼ tsp cayenne pepper, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ black pepper and use it to season the chicken breasts. Alternatively, you can simply use 1 to 2 tablespoons of this copycat southwestern spice blend or this easy chicken chipotle seasoning to season the chicken breasts if you prefer. 

Next, pour, 2 tbsp of olive oil into a skillet and cook each chicken breast on medium-high heat for 7 minutes on each side.

Remove from the heat and place aside the rest of the prepared ingredients. 

Next, wash, rinse and chop the romaine lettuce.

Now that all the ingredients are prepared it’s time to assemble.

Assemble the low carb burrito bowl

Bring out two bowls and place 76 grams of lettuce in each. 

Then, add 1 cooked and chopped chicken breast to each bowl.

Next, add 1/4 cup of guacamole, 1/2 cup of cilantro cauliflower rice, 1/4 cup of fajita vegetables, 1/4 cup of pico, and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese to each bowl, then serve with your favorite creamy dressing.
