# How to Make It:
01 - In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. 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 up with a spoon. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until browned with no pink remaining.
05 - Sprinkle prepared taco seasoning over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to coat and cook for 2 additional minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
06 - Wipe out half the skillet or use a second pan. Add butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add cauliflower rice, season lightly with salt, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until tender but not mushy. Keep warm.
07 - Divide shredded romaine lettuce among four bowls. Top each with a portion of the seasoned beef mixture. Spoon cauliflower rice beside or underneath the beef in each bowl.
08 - 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. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
