A quick and easy low-carb beef burrito bowl featuring seasoned ground beef, fresh veggies, and creamy guacamole, perfect for keto and low-carb diets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
  • 1 small tomato, diced (optional)
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce or mixed greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the small tomato if using, finely chop the red onion and jalapeño for guacamole, and roughly chop cilantro. Shred lettuce or greens and cheese.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent and slightly golden. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Season beef with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. While beef cooks, cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher until creamy but still chunky.
  6. Add fresh lime juice, finely chopped red onion, diced tomato (if using), jalapeño, salt, and chopped cilantro to the mashed avocado. Stir gently to combine and adjust lime or salt to taste.
  7. In serving bowls, arrange shredded lettuce or mixed greens. Spoon seasoned beef over greens, then add halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar, black olives, and a generous scoop of guacamole.
  8. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on top for extra creaminess. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe Hass avocados for best guacamole texture. To keep guacamole from browning, add fresh lime juice and cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface. Avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking beef to ensure proper browning. Sour cream can mellow excess chili powder heat. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt and omit cheese.
