Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and break it apart as it cooks, stirring frequently for about 5-6 minutes until browned.
  2. Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Stir in taco seasoning and 2-3 tablespoons of water. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  3. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes.
  4. Prepare the cauliflower rice: Microwave frozen cauliflower rice for 4-5 minutes or sauté fresh for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Layer romaine lettuce, cauliflower rice, seasoned chicken, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and Mexican cheese blend in serving bowls.
  6. Top each bowl with sour cream, salsa, minced jalapeño, and lime juice before serving.
