Ingredients
Scale
1 lb ground chicken
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup tomato sauce or salsa
2 cups cooked rice or cauliflower rice
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
1/2 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add ground chicken. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks.
Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and tomato sauce or salsa. Simmer for 3-5 minutes to combine flavors.
To assemble bowls, layer rice or cauliflower rice as the base.
Top with seasoned ground chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese (if using), avocado, and cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
Substitute ground turkey or beef if preferred.
Use quinoa or greens instead of rice for a low-carb option.
Great for meal prep—store components separately and assemble when ready to eat.
