Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 large Avocados, mashed
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Whole30 compliant mayo
- 1 tablespoon Hot sauce
- 8 leaves Lettuce leaves (large, for wrapping)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes. Break the meat apart with a spatula as it cooks.
Step 2
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and aromatic, then remove the skillet from heat.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix cauliflower rice with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
Step 5
Mash the avocados in a separate bowl, then stir in chopped cilantro and a pinch of salt to create guacamole. Set aside.
Step 6
In another small bowl, combine Whole30 compliant mayo with hot sauce to create a spicy mayo sauce. Adjust the hot sauce to your desired heat level.
Step 7
To assemble the burrito, lay out a large lettuce leaf and layer approximately 2 tablespoons of the spicy mayo sauce as the base.
Step 8
Add about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture on top of the sauce.
Step 9
Next, add 2 tablespoons of cauliflower rice, followed by a generous portion of guacamole.
Step 10
Top with another small drizzle of the spicy mayo sauce.
Step 11
Roll the lettuce leaf over the fillings tightly, folding in the sides to seal the ingredients within. Repeat the process with remaining ingredients to create four burritos.
Step 12
Serve fresh and enjoy a delicious, Whole30 compliant beefy 5-layer burrito!
