Low Carb Vegan Taco Bowl
This super healthy Keto taco bowl is made entirely of Keto vegetables and only cooked with olive oil, so it’s great for vegan diets too. The taco bowl is simply comprised of seasoned, fried cauliflower rice and the Carb Manager Vegan Ground Beef recipe. There is the opportunity for you to add on your favorite taco toppings, which you can easily add to your food log at your discretion. If you’re using Carb Manager to plan your meal prepping, you’ll want to include this vegan recipe in your rotation if you’re looking for an easy meal. You can store your finished recipe in meal prep containers in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you’ve added any fresh toppings to your taco bowl, you may wish to keep these ingredients separate until you’re ready to eat for freshness. Easily increase the servings of the recipes so you can make enough meals to last you through the week. You can even make a larger batch of the vegan ground beef so you have extra to add to other meals you make.
Is Salsa Keto?
Depending on how strictly you follow the Keto diet, you may or may not include tomatoes. Tomatoes (the main ingredient of salsa) are part of the nightshade family and have traditionally been excluded from the Keto diet. However, if you’re using Carb Manager to track your carbohydrates and to keep a very low carb diet, you can fit tomatoes in without taking your body out of ketosis. One or two tablespoons of your favorite salsa is a yummy way to add a spoonful of flavor to your recipe while staying within your macros.
Vegan Taco Bowl Toppings
As a basic recipe, there’s plenty of room to add more vegan Keto ingredients to complete your taco bowl. Salsa or chopped tomatoes, avocado or guacamole, and shredded lettuce are all fresh ingredients that are Keto. If you like sour cream, you can make a low-carb vegan version out of cashew cream and vinegar. Many vegan brands also sell shredded cheese products, but you’ll have to pay close attention to the nutrition label to check the macros. To add more protein to your vegan ground beef, you may choose to sprinkle nutritional yeast into it. Nutritional yeast is also claimed to be a vegan-friendly way to add cheese flavor to food too.

Recipe Steps

25 min
Step 1
Start by finely dicing mushrooms into the smallest pieces you can. The closer you can get the mushrooms to a minced texture, the more they will resemble ground beef. Cremini mushrooms are best for the recipe because they have a darker color and a deeper flavor. However, you can use plain white mushrooms for this recipe as well. Your minced mushrooms should equal the weight listed in the ingredients.Step 2
Pour the olive oil into a large pan and heat it over high heat. Wait for the oil to be hot for frying, then add the minced mushrooms to the pan. Season the mushrooms with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne, and stir the ingredients together. Let the mushrooms sit undisturbed in the pan until they become charred on one side to mimic charred meat. Then, continually stir and cook the mushrooms until they shrink considerably and become very tender.Step 3
Take the pan off the stove heat. Stir the milled flaxseed into the pan of “ground beef” and let it stand for 5 minutes. Leave the pan set aside as you turn your focus to making the rice. Heat the olive oil in a new pan over high heat. Add riced cauliflower to the oil, and season it with seasoned salt and pepper. Continually stir over the high heat until the seasoned rice is golden brown with some crispy edges here and there.Step 4
To assemble the taco bowl, spoon the cauliflower rice into the bowl first (about 4 ounces). Spoon the vegan taco beef on top of the rice (about 2 ounces), and add any additional Keto vegan taco toppings at your discretion. Vegan toppings that are also keto-friendly include 1-2 tablespoons of salsa, guacamole or fresh slices of avocado, and shredded lettuce. If you have any vegan sour cream or cheese product that fits within your macros, you can use this as well.
