Equipment
Method
- Season chicken breasts with sugar-free taco seasoning on both sides. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
- While chicken cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and turn translucent.
- Add diced bell peppers to the skillet and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until vegetables are slightly caramelized and tender.
- Add riced cauliflower to the skillet. Sprinkle in cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
- Remove skillet from heat and squeeze fresh lime juice over the cauliflower rice mixture. Toss to combine and let the lime juice absorb into the rice.
- To assemble bowls, divide seasoned cauliflower rice among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with sliced grilled chicken, a generous spoonful of fresh salsa, a dollop of guacamole, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
- Serve immediately while warm. Optional: garnish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, or a small dollop of sour cream if desired.
