This KETO BURRITO BOWL is one of my favorite Mexican meals! We make this often and it’s always a hit. It’s easy to customize so that everyone in your family can make their burrito bowl they way they like and the leftovers are perfect the next day for lunch!
I’m sure by now you guys have figured out that Mexican food is my favorite food.
We eat it often and I try my best not to overwhelm you with the recipes, because I know some people prefer a little variety in their foods.
Personally, I’d be fine with tacos every night of my life, but hey, that’s just me. 😉
Anyway, this keto burrito bowl is on repeat in my house and it’s so simple to make!
Whenever I make any kind of Mexican dish, like my Mexican cauliflower rice or Mexican shredded beef, I am always sure to make enough for us to have these keto burrito bowls the next day. Double the Mexican food! Yay!
My perfect version of a burrito bowl may not be quite the same as yours, so I’m going to give you my recipe in the card below, but I’ll also give you some ideas for changing things up in this article. Skip down to the card for my version of a perfect keto burrito bowl or keep reading here for some other fun ideas!
Burrito Bowl Options:
Proteins:
- Crockpot Chicken Fajitas

How to calculate the carbs:
Each of the above links (aside from the romaine lettuce) has nutrition information available.
Just jot dot the carb count of each item you’d like to add to your bowl (making sure to keep an eye on serving sizes – I use much less of the keto elote in a burrito bowl than I do as a side dish, for example) and then total it up.
Many people use Carb Manager, a free app, to calculate carbs as well. That may also be helpful, but I find it quickest to just write it down on paper and get a rough idea.
Hope you enjoy your keto burrito!

I love your blog and your recipes. I just wish the ads weren’t part of the recipe card. I understand the need for advertising to make a blog like this into a revenue stream but that’s one spot where it’s really frustrating since it doesn’t print properly, ideally it would be nice for the recipe card to be a 1 page print.

Hi Kurtis! I appreciate the feedback. I just went to double check and the ads don’t print when you use the ‘print’ button located in the recipe card. Is that what you’re using? It won’t print on one page because of the nutrition info, in most cases. You can set your printer to just print the first page if you don’t want the nutrition info, but otherwise it will take both pages. I’ve tried changing the layout of the nutrition info but I just get too many confused questions. This standard nutrition label seems to be easiest to read – I wish it wasn’t so large too. 🙂

Didn’t love this recipe. Way too much cheese. I would have liked the smoked sausage better with the broccoli on the side. The way this comes together is waaaaay too creamy, with nothing to really balance that. Thanks for posting, but it’s a solid no from me.
T says
Then you could of added less cheese. Also could of used whatever ingredients and tweaked it to what you’d prefer. What a rude snarky comment. If you didn’t like the recipe move along.
