Here’s How to Make a Low Carb Burrito Bowl:

Start by making your meat. You can prep the other ingredients quickly and easily while your protein is cooking. We made my pressure cooker pork carnitas recipe which made everything amazing and tasty, super quickly!

Next, if you’re making your guac, I would do that now as well. You can get my recipe here. Otherwise, if you’re buying it, you can skip this step.

Prep your cauliflower rice. If you’re making it, go you! I don’t usually, cuz I find it to be too messy and labor intensive. We buy riced cauliflower from the frozen section at Costco, Aldi and many other stores!

I would also prep your other ingredients at this time. Slice up your peppers, dice your cilantro and cut up your limes. If you don’t like your peppers raw. just pop them in the oven with some olive oil for about 10 minutes at 350F. If you’re keto, this is a great way to add extra fat. Just make sure to adjust the macros.

Finally, just assemble! Start with cauliflower rice as the base, then add the meat, a spoonful of guac and then top with cheddar cheese, peppers, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
