Low Carb Chicken Burrito Bowl Recipe

One of my most favorite meals ever is a burrito bowl from Chipotle. The combinations for different flavors and textures all combine for an amazing and delicious lunch or dinner. The only real complaint I have following a low carb diet, is that a keto burrito bowl ends up kind of small when you aren’t adding beans and rice to it.

So I figured maybe it made more sense to try and make my own recipe using my cauliflower cilantro lime rice recipe. I figured it would add texture and volume to the bowl making it more filling.

In some ways this recipe can be used as a guide to create your own custom burrito bowl. You aren’t limited by the ingredients I chose, you can change it up to your liking. Use steak instead of chicken, add pico de gallo, sour cream, ground beef, olives, etc. You could also add black beans depending on how low carb you need the dish to be.

If you aren’t following a low carb diet, you could also use brown rice in place of the cauliflower rice. If you are vegetarian or vegan, you obviously want to eliminate the meat, and maybe the cheese. Check out my vegan recipe that can easily be kept low carb too.

This is a versatile dish too, because everyone can customize it by choosing their own favorite toppings.

This makes a great “taco bar” scenario so it’s perfect for parties. To save a ton of time, you can use rotisserie chicken and just heat it with the salsa and seasonings in step 4.
