Paleo Taco Bowl

May 9, 2016 By Shannah Coe 10 Comments

Happy Monday! I am recovering from a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend that included a trip to local winery, a visit to my husband’s parents and the best nap ever! We topped off the weekend with some Indian food including butter chicken and vegetable pakora. I’m back on track today with a paleo taco bowl on my lunch menu.

Paleo Taco Bowl

I love taco bowls from Chipotle and over places but the rice, cheese and sour cream aren’t exactly paleo friendly. So, for my paleo taco bowl, I substitute the rice with cauliflower rice and include fresh jalapenos, avocado and paleo ranch.

Ingredients for Paleo Taco Bowl:

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 lb ground beef
1 onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, finely chopped
3 Tbsp taco seasoning
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup pico de gallo
1 jalapeno, sliced
1/2 avocado, diced
2 Tbsp paleo ranch dressing

Let’s Make It:

1. Place cauliflower florets in bowl of food processor. Pulse to turn into cauliflower rice. Set aside.

2. Heat large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring to crumble, for 5-7 minutes or until done. Drain. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. 

3. Add cauliflower rice and and cook for 2-3 minutes. 

4. Layer cauliflower rice and ground beef mixture. Top with pico de gallo, jalapeno slices, avocado and ranch dressing.

This taco bowl is the absolute best paleo option when you are craving some Tex-mex flavors. I love the fresh avocado on top because it adds the perfect creamy texture to cut through the slight spiciness of the taco mixture.

    It looks so good! I’m not sure that the Ranch Dressing would be Paleo though. I’d eat it anyhow!

      Tessemae’s makes a paleo ranch dressing that is awesome! Or you could make paleo dump ranch 🙂 You definitely couldn’t use a traditional ranch dressing 🙂
