This Keto Taco Cauliflower Bowl is a delicious easy keto recipe! Roasted cauliflower topped with cheese, Mexican spiced meat, and optional sour cream + salsa. This is an easy weeknight keto dinner that you can customize to your own liking. Add jalapenos, cilantro or guacamole to the dish. Whatever you like!
Cauliflower
The base to this recipe is roasted cauliflower! Combine all of the spices listed below and mix thoroughly. Use half of the spices to toss with the cauliflower florets along with the olive oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for about 25-30 minutes. Cauliflower tastes the best when it is slightly charred! Optional, take out the cauliflower with 10 minutes remaining and top with shredded cheese.
Protein
This recipe is so versatile! Use whatever you like or whatever you have on hand. You can use ground beef as specified in the recipe below, or chicken, tofu or even our Instant Pot Mexican Chorizo.
Cheese
For this recipe I’ve listed shredded cheddar cheese. The recipe is truly versatile and you can use whatever cheese you like! This will work great cheese that melts easily like mozzarella, tex-mex shredded cheese or even monetary jack.
Toppings
This is where you can truly customize your Keto Taco Cauliflower Bowl. You can top the bowl with more cheese, salsa, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, jalapenos, pico de gallo, or even onions. The choice is yours! For salsa, look for one that’s low in carbs. We like the Mrs. Renfros brand for American style salsa. Their Mild Salsa has only 2 grams of carbs per serving.
Assembly
Start your bowl with the roasted cauliflower, next top with the protein and finally add your desired toppings.
