Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (lean)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 yellow onion (medium, diced)
• 2 clove garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 16 ounce cauliflower rice
• 5 ounce mixed greens
• 1 avocado (large, sliced)
• 0.5 cup salsa (low-sugar)
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced yellow onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes until browned. Drain any excess fat.
3. Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute, allowing the spices to toast. Pour in the chicken broth, season with salt and black pepper, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the liquid has slightly reduced.
4. While the beef cooks, prepare the cauliflower rice according to package directions, typically by microwaving for 5-7 minutes or sautéing in a separate pan.
5. Divide the cooked cauliflower rice among five bowls. Top with the seasoned ground beef, mixed greens, sliced avocado, salsa, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
