Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz cauliflower rice
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1 tsp sea salt divided
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp jalapeno pepper minced, or to taste
  • 1 ¼ tsp onion powder divided
  • 1 ¼ tsp garlic powder divided
  • Cayenne pepper to taste
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ¾ tsp chili powder
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 4 Tbsp water
  • 1 large onion sliced thin
  • 1 large red bell pepper sliced thin
  • 1 large tomato chopped

Instructions
 

  • Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and stir to coat.  Cover skillet and steam for about 2 minutes.
  • Uncover and stir, then add jalapeno, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp garlic powder, cayenne pepper and lime juice. Cook and stir another 1 – 2 minutes until you have desired texture.  Don’t overcook or the rice will become mushy.  Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile in a separate skillet , crumble beef and break up with a spatula. Add ½ tsp salt, ¾ tsp onion powder, ¾ tsp garlic powder, cumin, chili powder and cayenne pepper to taste; cook, stirring occasionally until browned.  Do not drain the fat.  Lower heat to medium-low and add the tomato paste and water, stirring to combine.  Continue to cook and stir until thickened, then remove to a separate bowl, keeping juices in the skillet.
  • Heat the same skillet over medium and add 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add peppers and onions and stir to coat with fat.  Sprinkle with a bit of salt to taste, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes or until softened and browning.  Remove from heat.
  • To assemble burrito bowls, begin with the cauliflower rice, then layer the beef, peppers and onions. Add shredded lettuce if you like. Garnish with tomato, cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
