Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80–90% lean) or ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional, can reduce to keep carbs lower)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup beef or chicken broth (low-sodium)
  • 4 cups chopped romaine or mixed greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional for strict keto; use sparingly)
  • 1 small avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges
  • Pickled jalapeños (optional)
  • Cauliflower rice (optional base, about 2 cups cooked)

Method
 

  1. Prep your base: Wash and chop the greens. If using cauliflower rice, sauté it in a pan with a bit of oil and salt for 5–7 minutes until tender.
  2. Cook the aromatics: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook 3–4 minutes until translucent. Stir in garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Brown the meat: Add ground beef or turkey. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Season it right: Sprinkle in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to coat the meat evenly.
  5. Make it saucy: Add tomato paste and broth. Simmer 2–3 minutes until the mixture thickens and the flavors meld. Taste and adjust salt.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Divide greens (and cauliflower rice, if using) into bowls. Spoon on the seasoned meat.
  7. Add toppings: Layer with avocado, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapeños. Finish with a squeeze of lime.
  8. Serve: Enjoy warm. For extra richness, drizzle with a little olive oil or add a few olives.
