A satisfying and healthy low carb burrito bowl featuring lean ground turkey or chicken, black beans, fresh veggies, and creamy avocado, all served on a crisp bed of lettuce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey or ground chicken (lean)
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (about 15 oz)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 4 cups chopped lettuce (romaine or mixed greens)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1–2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  2. Toss in the diced red onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for 4–6 minutes until softened and slightly translucent.
  3. Add the ground turkey or chicken to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until no pink remains and bits are lightly browned, about 6–8 minutes.
  4. Stir in the rinsed black beans, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the beans are heated and the spices are fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  5. Remove the meat mixture from heat. Prepare bowls by placing a bed of chopped lettuce in each serving dish.
  6. Spoon the hot meat-and-bean mixture over the lettuce. Top with halved cherry tomatoes and sliced avocado. Finish with a generous squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a heartier plate, add a scoop of cilantro-lime cauliflower rice. Keep ingredients separate for storage to maintain freshness.
