Description

Why settle for average tacos when you can bowl over your cravings? This Cauliflower Rice Taco Bowl delivers all the bold, smoky taco vibes—minus the carb crash. We’re talking spiced ground beef, herby cauliflower rice, and buttery avocado all coming together faster than you can say “Taco Tuesday.” It’s crave-worthy comfort, secretly nutritious, and 100% weeknight-approved.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup riced cauliflower

  • 200g (7 oz) lean ground beef (85/15)

  • ½ ripe avocado, sliced

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (divided)

  • 1 garlic clove, minced (or ¼ tsp garlic powder)

  • ½ tsp cumin + ½ tsp smoked paprika

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

  • Optional: Lime wedge, Greek yogurt, chili flakes, crushed tortilla chips


Instructions

  • Cauliflower Rice: Sauté in ½ tbsp oil over medium-high heat with a pinch of salt. Let it sit between tosses for caramelization. Cook 5–7 mins until tender-crisp. Stir in half the herbs off heat.

  • Spiced Beef: In the same pan, heat remaining oil. Add garlic (30 secs), then beef. Add cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper. Let sit briefly for crispy edges. Cook 5–6 mins.

  • Assemble: Bowl it up—start with rice, pile on beef, fan out avocado slices. Scatter herbs. Optional lime squeeze or Greek yogurt = flavor bomb.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the pan! Crispy beef = flavor gold. Want extra heat? Add chipotle or jalapeños.

Go ahead—let this bowl crash your Taco Tuesday and upgrade it for good.
