Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef lean, or substitute with ground turkey or chicken
  • 1 small head cauliflower broken into florets
  • 1.5 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese shredded
  • Little (grape/cherry) tomatoes halved
  • Full-fat sour cream
  • Avocado sliced or chopped
  • Red onion chopped
  • Iceberg lettuce shredded
  • Lime wedges for squeezing over the top

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your cauliflower roasts perfectly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden and tender, flipping halfway through.
  3. While the cauliflower is roasting, heat the remaining 0.5 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Once the beef is cooked through, drain any excess fat. Add cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to meld.
  5. Once the cauliflower is ready, remove it from the oven. Start by adding a generous scoop of roasted cauliflower to each bowl. Top with the seasoned ground beef, shredded cheese, cherry tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and shredded lettuce.
  6. Finish with a dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful Low Carb Taco Bowls!

Notes

  • Don’t skip roasting the cauliflower; it enhances flavor and texture.
  • Let the cooked beef rest before serving for juiciness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
