Keto Burrito Bowls

Admit it.  Tuesday rolls around and all you can think about is Taco Tuesday.  Or maybe it is now called Keto Taco Tuesday.  Nah, that doesn't sound as good. 

Well, you don't have any keto taco shells, so now what? Introducing my kid famous burrito bowls!  My kids look forward to burrito bowl night just as much as I do!

They are quick and easy and a definite crowd pleaser. I will sometimes double the recipe just so I can have leftovers for a few days. This is one of those meals that really does taste good warmed up.

Can I Use a Different Meat for Keto Burrito Bowls

Yes you can! I alternate between 3 different kinds of meats. I like to use ground turkey, ground beef and ground sausage.

I find that the ground sausage is the most flavorful on its own, but with all the tasty flavors added to this recipe, you can dress up any meat.

How to Store Keto Burrito Bowls

It is best to store leftover burrito bowls in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh, if stored properly, for 3-4 days.

Can I Make This Ahead of Time?

You sure can. You can make the entire recipe ahead of time and warm it up together or you can brown the meat, prep the veggies and simply do the final steps right before you want to serve it. Totally up to you!

I will even throw this into a breakfast scramble the next day!

Mom Note:

I sometimes make rice and black beans for the non-keto people to add to their bowls. While my kids will often eat the same keto meal as I me, I don't feel it is a requirement.

So, often I will make the cauliflower rice for hubby and I and then the kiddos get rice and black beans. I've even been known to slip a few black beans into my bowl.

Either way, this is an easy keto meal that can easily be modified to satisfy the entire family!
