Description

A vibrant and nutritious cauliflower rice bowl featuring seasoned cauliflower, black beans, corn, bell pepper, and avocado, perfect for a healthy, quick meal.


Ingredients

Scale

1 medium head of cauliflower (or 4 cups pre-riced cauliflower)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
1 bell pepper, diced
1 avocado, sliced
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cauliflower Rice: If using a whole head of cauliflower, remove the leaves and stem, then cut it into florets. Using a food processor, pulse the florets until they resemble rice grains. Alternatively, you can use pre-riced cauliflower for convenience.
Step 2: Cook the Cauliflower Rice: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the riced cauliflower and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly golden.
Step 3: Season the Rice: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 4: Add the Toppings: Once the cauliflower rice is cooked, add the black beans, corn, and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through for another 3-4 minutes.
Step 5: Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cauliflower rice mixture into bowls. Top with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice for added flavor.

Notes

For extra protein, add grilled chicken or tofu. Feel free to customize with your favorite hot sauce or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a creamy finish.
