Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Add the ground chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
  2. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the cooked chicken, pouring in 2-3 tablespoons of water. Stir for about 2 minutes until the chicken is coated and liquid evaporates.
  3. For frozen cauliflower rice, cook in a microwave-safe bowl on high for 4-5 minutes. For fresh, sauté in a dry skillet over medium for 3-4 minutes.
  4. In each serving dish, layer with chopped romaine lettuce, cooked cauliflower rice, seasoned ground chicken, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, and sprinkle Mexican cheese on top.
  5. Add a dollop of full-fat sour cream, drizzle with salsa, sprinkle minced jalapeño to spice preference, and finish with fresh lime juice.
