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
- 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, use pre-riced cauliflower.
- 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. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- 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.
- 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
Customize your bowl by adding proteins like grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu. For a spicy kick, include diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. This dish is excellent for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
