Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef or turkey (90% lean)
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder
- 4 cups chopped lettuce or 2 cups cooked quinoa, brown rice, or cauliflower rice
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions
- Cook the meat: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, brown the ground meat. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, stirring until browned and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Prepare the base: If using grains, prepare quinoa, brown rice, or cauliflower rice according to package instructions. If using fresh lettuce, chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Prep toppings: Slice cherry tomatoes, pickles, and red onion thinly. Gather additional toppings like bacon, jalapeños, and avocado.
- Make the sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together low-fat Greek yogurt, mustard, ketchup, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Assemble the bowls: Layer lettuce or grains, followed by seasoned meat. Top with tomatoes, pickles, red onion, cheese, fried eggs, bacon, avocado, and drizzle with sauce.
