Instructions
Step 1
1. To make the chicken cauliflower burrito bowl: Rinse and break the cauliflower head into small florets and roughly chop in a food processor.
Step 2
2. In a large skillet, sauté minced onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, until softened.
Step 3
3. Add ground chicken (or turkey) to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until chicken has started to brown and rendered most of its water. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon olive oil and sauté cauliflower rice for about 2 minutes. Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili, and cumin. Mix well and continue to cook for a couple of minutes; then add diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer, and allow the juices to reduce a little. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 5
5. Add ground chicken (or turkey) and onion back to the skillet and give a quick stir (you can also keep chicken on top of cauliflower for serving if you like). Sprinkle with shredded cheese, cover the skillet and let sit for 2-3 minutes off heat to melt the cheese. Divide into bowls, enjoy!
