Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower, riced
- 1 can black beans
- 1 cup corn
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the cauliflower rice by washing and thoroughly drying the cauliflower head. Using a box grater or food processor, pulse the cauliflower into rice-like granules.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the riced cauliflower and season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is lightly golden and tender.
- Drain and rinse the black beans. In a separate pan, warm the black beans and corn together, seasoning with a pinch of salt.
- Slice the avocado into thin, even pieces. Set aside for topping.
- To assemble the burrito bowls, divide the spiced cauliflower rice evenly among four serving bowls as the base.
- Top each bowl with warm black beans and corn mixture, distributing evenly.
- Garnish each bowl with fresh avocado slices.
- Optional: Add additional toppings like salsa, cilantro, or a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately while ingredients are warm and enjoy your spicy cauliflower burrito bowl.
Tips
- Perfecting Cauliflower Rice: Make sure to dry the cauliflower thoroughly after washing it to avoid excess moisture, which can make the rice soggy. A food processor can save you time and create a finer texture.
- Flavor Boost: For an extra kick, consider adding some diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the cauliflower while it cooks.
- Warm Your Beans: Warm the black beans and corn together to enhance their flavors. A pinch of cumin or chili powder can elevate the taste even more.
- Customize Your Bowls: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Fresh salsa, chopped cilantro, or a squeeze of lime can take these burrito bowls to the next level.
- Meal Prep Friendly: This recipe is perfect for meal prep! Make a big batch and store the components separately in the fridge for quick assembly throughout the week.
- Serve Fresh: Enjoy the bowls immediately while everything is warm for the best flavor and texture.
