Keto Chicken Burrito Bowl [Easy Weeknight Meal]

Are you looking for an easy weeknight meal? Look no further! Tantalize your taste buds with this chicken burrito bowl—packed full of protein, spices, and flavor. Chicken is a keto staple favorite for a reason. It’s high in protein and contains essential amino acids needed to keep your body healthy. Protein helps keep your muscles strong, boost your immune system, and even helps with weight management.

Replacing rice with cauliflower makes this dish low-carb and elevates its nutritional profile, as it’s naturally high in fiber, antioxidants, and B-vitamins. Cauliflower is often used in keto pizzas, stir-fries, and other dishes to make a good carbohydrate replacement. Lighten up your meal with cauliflower and reap the weight loss and digestion benefits.

Don’t forget the flavor! The addition of garlic, onion, and chili powder with a generous helping of paprika and cumin makes it delicious and incredibly warming for those colder days. The tomatoes add a nice acidity to the dish and help balance out some more potent flavors. Feel free to replace the canned tomatoes with fresh ones, if you’d prefer.

Before serving, sprinkle on the cheese of your choice and some salt and pepper. This recipe also keeps well, making it a great work-day lunch option. Just remember to separate the cauliflower rice and chicken mix from each other, so it doesn’t get soggy. You can then assemble it whenever you want.

I just made a version of this for lunch, thank you! I had some cooked chicken so used that instead of the mince, but it was really lovely.

Interesting take on Spanish cauli rice as a burrito component, look good. I'd top it w/ cilantro + sour cream or yogurt.

Reminds "navy-styled pasta" popular in Russia. Was searching for substitute and found it. Thank you for this brilliant idea.

How many grams of carbs is in this? The onion, garlic and can of tomato looks like it would tip this into quite a high carb content by the time it’s all added up

Felt like I was in the Congo with that music playing

Canned diced tomatoes come in 14.5 oz cans or larger. Tomatoes and chilies come in 10 oz cans. Where are you finding 12 oz cans? Are these actually aseptic cardboard packages instead of cans or are you measuring 12 ounces dry matter from a drained 14.5 oz can?

Beautiful looking dish.

The music however, not so much.

[tarag]

Not keto after you add the tomatoes, but it still looks good nonetheless.
