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.
