Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast
• 2 teaspoons chipotle powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 2 cups cauliflower rice
• 0.5 red onion
• 1 lime
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 avocado
• 4 large romaine lettuce leaves
• 0.5 cup cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Begin by marinating the chicken. In a small bowl, combine the chipotle powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sea salt.

Step 2

Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breast to ensure it's well-coated.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing it into strips.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil and sauté the cauliflower rice until it's tender, about 5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

While the rice is cooking, finely dice the red onion, halve the cherry tomatoes, and cube the avocado.

Step 7

Juice the lime into a bowl and mix it with the cherry tomatoes and diced red onion to create a simple salsa.

Step 8

To assemble the burrito, place a spoonful of cauliflower rice onto the center of a lettuce leaf.

Step 9

Layer with a few strips of chipotle chicken, a generous scoop of the lime-tomato-onion salsa, and avocado cubes.

Step 10

Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 11

Roll the lettuce leaf around the filling to form a burrito and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
