Keto Burrito Bowl with Cauliflower Cilantro Lime Rice
Love burrito bowls from restaurants like Chipotle?
If you’re craving a Mexican restaurant-style burrito bowl with rice, but you’re also reducing your carb intake, try making your own grain-free burrito bowl at home using cauliflower rice! The result is a flavor-packed, keto-friendly meal that’s both delicious and satisfying.
Try catering it to your family’s tastes by picking a protein they’ll love. I’m using taco seasoned ground beef, but you could use shredded beef, pork, chopped steak, or chicken if desired.

The star of this recipe is the cauliflower cilantro rice!
If you haven’t enjoyed cauliflower rice in the past, try this delicious version. It’s filled with bright, bold flavor.
I’m using 1/2 a packet of Goya Sazon, a favorite seasoning used in Hispanic dishes such as in soups, rice, and even when roasting chicken. It produces amazing flavor and deep color using ground coriander and achiote. Goya products can be found in most grocery stores with other Hispanic foods.
If you’re looking for an alternative to Goya, try Badia Sazon.

Has anyone made this with frozen riced cauliflower?
I have not, but it would be easy to substitute! I would let the frozen thaw and press in paper towels to get any extra moisture out first, Nick.
Whoever wrote this recipe is a genius.. a freaking genius!
Thanks a bunch for the kind feedback, Amy! Happy you are loving this recipe!
This is a go to recipe that I use often. I always use frozen riced cauliflower and cilantro paste if I don’t have fresh cilantro!
