I am seriously in LOVE with these Taco Cauliflower Rice Bowls. They’ve quickly become one of my new favorite lunch/dinner recipes.
These low carb bowls take 30 minutes to make, are loaded with flavor, and are perfect for meal prepping – I know you’re going to love them too!
I’ve loved tacos for pretty much as long as I can remember. Growing up they were one of my absolute favorite dinners, and now as an adult they still are.
Which BTW, if you haven’t ditched store bought tacos seasoning and tried my healthy taco seasoning… you’re missing out!
With spring upon us, I’ve been craving lots of lighter, fresh food – and wanted to make a lightened up, low carb version of one of my favorite meals!
These keto/low carb Taco Cauliflower Rice Bowls are perfect if you’re feeling like me and craving light, fresh food that is still loaded with flavor!
They’ve got a base of cilantro lime cauliflower rice, perfectly seasoned ground beef, and ALL the toppings, including FAGE Total 0% Greek Yogurt!
We add greek yogurt to so many things: green smoothies, lemon blueberry bread, cilantro lime sauce (or on its own in one of these 5 Healthy Yogurt Parfaits).
We pretty much find ourselves using it in every meal from breakfast to dinner… But our favorite way to use it is definitely in savory dishes like these healthy taco bowls!

Cauliflower Rice FAQ
Cauliflower rice is lower in carbs and calories and more nutrient dense than regular rice. Both serve different purposes in a diet!
Yes! Cauliflower rice is great for a diet. It’s super low in carbs, high in fiber, and helps fill you up!
Your cauliflower rice might be bad if it is soft, mushy or smells. Cauliflower rice should be firm and crunchy.
Most stores sell cauliflower rice. You can find it in the produce section near bagged salads/prepared vegetables

I was looking to make something similar to the life cuisine beef bowl i usually buy. I eat high protein low carb and low fat. Your recipe has quite a bit of fat in it, where is it all coming from and how can I adjust to minimize the fat content?
The fat comes from the ground beef, olives, avocado and cheese. You could use lean ground beef (95/5), skip the olives/avocado, and use a low fat cheese
I love how filling this is, and it totally satisfied my taco craving! So delicious, and I loved the combo of spices for the taco meat! Would highly recommend!
Yay! I love to hear that!
I made this for my family tonight, lots of flavour, super easy, we will definitely make this again!!
So happy you all enjoyed it, Terra! Thank you!!
This is my favorite, go-to recipe! It’s flavorful and easy and something the whole family enjoys.
So glad you like them Alicia! This is one of my favorites for taco night too!
I’m making this tonight! But I’m a little unclear on how to serve this. Do you reheat the taco meat and rice or eat it all cold? Wouldn’t I need to store my ingredients seperately? I would love to just use one container because it’s a make-ahead lunch this week for me!
Hi Danielle – If you’re making this and plan to reheat it, I’d recommend storing your ingredients separately. The beef/rice/cheese can go in one and be reheated, and then add your cold toppings on top. Hope that helps!
This recipe is so fabulous and delicious! I’ll be making this again!
Thank you so much, Lisa! I’m glad you like them 🙂
These bowls are easy and delicious!
I didn’t have cherry/grapes tomatoes, so I used chopped roma tomatoes! Yummo!
I’m glad you liked them Rita! And that the tomato substitute worked out well 🙂
These are amazing! My whole family loved them and I couldn’t believe how quick and easy they were to prepare. This one is going on regular rotation for sure!!
I’m so glad you liked them, Lisa! They’re one of our favorite dinners too! 🙂

Looks great! I love to bring taco bowls to work for lunch but I usually include black beans.
