# How to Make It:
01 - In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
02 - Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow it to shimmer.
03 - Add diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and diced red bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until softened.
04 - Push vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until fully browned with no pink remaining.
05 - Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to coat evenly and cook for 2 additional minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
06 - In the same skillet or a second pan, add butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add cauliflower rice, lightly season with salt, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until tender but not mushy. Keep warm.
07 - Divide shredded romaine lettuce equally among four serving bowls. Top each portion with an equal amount of the seasoned beef mixture.
08 - Spoon the cooked cauliflower rice beside or underneath the beef mixture in each bowl.
09 - Top each bowl with halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
10 - Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side. Squeeze fresh lime juice over each bowl before eating for a bright, tangy finish.
