Chicken Burrito Bowls with Cauliflower, adapted from Christina Cherrier.

Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.

## Ingredients

- 1 lb ground chicken. (450g) is the source parenthetical; original US quantity controls. (or turkey)

- 3 tbsp olive oil

- ½ count yellow onion — minced

- 1 count medium head of cauliflower. (or one packet of riced cauliflower)

- 1 can Diced tomatoes — drained. Source says small can without specifying ounces; drained.

- 1 tsp garlic powder

- 1 tsp onion powder

- 1 tsp paprika

- ½ tsp chili powder — optional. Optional; excluded or included as stated in the publisher nutrition.

- 1 tsp cumin

- ¼ cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth. (60ml) is the source parenthetical; original US quantity controls.

- 2 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Mozzarella. (or your favorite cheese)

- to taste Salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Unquantified in source; use to taste or as optional garnish as stated.

## Equipment

- Stovetop and large skillet

- Knife and cutting board

- Instant-read thermometer

- Food processor or grater, unless using ready-riced cauliflower

## Cook

Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.

1. **Step 1.** Rice cauliflower, or use packaged cauliflower rice. Soften onion in two-thirds of the oil.

2. **Step 2.** Add ground chicken, season, and brown over medium-high heat until 165°F. Reserve chicken and onion.

3. **Step 3.** Heat remaining oil; stir-fry cauliflower for 2 minutes. Add dry spices and cook another 2 minutes, then tomatoes and broth. Simmer until excess liquid reduces.

4. **Step 4.** Return chicken and onion. Sprinkle cheese, cover off heat for 2–3 minutes, and divide into bowls.

## Attention timeline

Stages can overlap; endpoints and appliance behavior override the estimate.

## Flavor and capacity

## Nutrition per serving

Calories: Not provided; protein: Not provided; total carbs: Not provided; fiber: Not provided; net carbs: Not provided

Source nutrition is reported only where its per-portion basis is supported. Unavailable totals are not estimated.

Known allergens for these plates: milk. Check product labels and cross-contact.

## First-cook checks and limits

- The publisher lists 538 calories without a serving size or complete nutrition breakdown; per-portion nutrition remains unreported.

- The publisher does not specify the size of at least one can or bag. Check the intended package size before shopping.

- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.

- Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.

- The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total.

- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.

## Leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
