Meal Prep Taco Bowls with Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice packed with lean ground turkey, bell peppers, red onion, and a homemade taco seasoning served on a bed of cauliflower rice with lime and cilantro iare so good you will want to eat them all week long.
Lately I have been struggling a bit when it comes to lunch. Usually I rely on leftovers to fuel my lunchtime meals but lately we haven’t been leaving too much in the leftover department. Hungry family, I guess. That’s led to more take-out than I would like to admit, some weird mishmash lunches using whatever is in the fridge, and many days oatmeal or eggs. So this weekend I set out to change things up and do some lunch time meal prep.

Now since this dish is only about 250 calories, I need to bulk it up or I will be hungry an hour after lunch. Usually I serve it a few different ways during the week to keep things interesting. One day I will add some black beans and avocado. The next day I may melt some cheese on top and scoop it into some corn or low carb tortillas. Sometimes I even drop this into a bowl of canned black bean or tomato soup.
Tips for Making these Meal Prep Taco Bowls with Cauliflower Rice
- You can use any ground meat for this recipe and can also use vegetarian crumbles for a meatless version. You can also use chopped chicken breast or chicken thighs.
- To keep things simple, I recommend buying some frozen cauliflower rice instead of making your own. I find it costs about the same and is so much faster than getting out your food processor.
- If you want to bulk things up, add some canned beans or corn. You can also mix some brown rice or quinoa in with the cauliflower rice.
- When serving it, add your favorite taco toppings – avocado, cheese, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, or salsa
