Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups cauliflower rice
• 2 avocados
• 1 lime
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 large bell peppers
• 1 medium onion
• 8 large lettuce leaves
• 1 cup salsa

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 2

Add smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper to the beef. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In another skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add cauliflower rice and sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Season with a pinch of salt if desired. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

While the beef and cauliflower are cooking, mash the avocados in a bowl. Add juice from the lime and chopped cilantro, mixing until smooth to prepare your guacamole layer.

Step 5

Thinly slice the bell peppers and onion. Sauté them in a separate skillet over medium heat until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

To assemble the burritos, start by laying down a large lettuce leaf. Add a scoop of cauliflower rice, then a spoonful of the beef mixture.

Step 7

Layer with bell pepper and onion mixture, followed by a dollop of guacamole. Finish with a spoonful of salsa on top.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Beefy 5-Layer Burrito!
