Who doesn’t love a delicious, healthy meal that’s ready in just fifteen minutes?

Tacos are always a great go-to meal on busy days because they come together so quickly. And I love that you can skip the taco shells for a low carb twist.

I’ve filled these taco bowls with my favorite taco fillings: spicy beef, spinach and broccoli sprouts, creamy guacamole, sweet tomatoes, and chunky salsa.

Basically, the sky’s the limit on what you can include; whatever your favorite healthy toppings are.

They make a wonderful gluten-free and paleo lunch or dinner.

It’s quick and easy to make the ingredients.

Instructions

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.

Spicy beef 

First, brown the ground beef with some fresh minced garlic in a skillet. Then drain the fat and add some water with your spices: oregano, paprika, cumin, chili powder, coriander, and salt.

Now let that cook until all the flavors have blended together. Finally, splash with some Bragg’s apple cider vinegar and stir.

I use raw apple cider vinegar because it has a host of health benefits from improving digestion to alleviating heartburn to maintaining healthy skin. 

I especially like Bragg’s because it contains the “mother” of the vinegar: strands of proteins, enzymes, and friendly bacteria.

Homemade guacamole 

To make the guacamole, all you have to do is peel and mash two ripe avocados. Whisk them together with chopped garlic cloves, fresh squeezed lime juice, some chopped cilantro, tomatoes, and salt.

Salsa

For the salsa, you can choose store bought or follow my super easy salsa recipe that you can make with roasted tomatoes.

Next, just spoon about a quarter of the beef into each bowl. Then, add some broccoli sprouts, guacamole, spinach, tomatoes, and salsa.

Finally, squeeze a little lime juice over all the ingredients in the bowl.

Voilà: healthy and delicious skinny, low carb taco bowls.

Spring is in the air and soon it will be summer. Almost bathing suit season, right? I’m looking to cut carbs that always seem to add extra pounds. These taco bowls fit right into my low carb meal plan.  

I hope you enjoy these taco bowls with all the taste of tacos without the unnecessary carbs.

    These look really good! I hadn’t thought of putting apple cider vinegar in beef. What does that do?

      Thanks, Mindy! I add a splash of vinegar after the meat is cooked because I love the sweetness it adds and because it’s so good for you. {I add it to my chili too.} Raw apple cider vinegar alkalizes the body, balancing your pH, to help you fight off disease and inflammation. 🙂

    This sure does look like an awesome meal. I would replace the meat with plant based protein for me. Love the use of broccoli sprouts you have made.
