Cauliflower Rice Burrito Bowl

Cauliflower Rice Burrito Bowl

Up until now I surprisingly have not jumped on the cauliflower rice bandwagon. I know what you’re thinking, “How is a vegan not already on the cauliflower rice bandwagon?” Well, I guess it’s because it seemed like an awful lot of work from the outside. Fortunately, I found out that it’s actually super quick and easy, as long as you have a ninja bullet or food processor.

Vegan

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of pre-cooked cauliflower (If you really want to speed things up, you can use frozen cauliflower)
• 1/2 cup of cooked black beans
• 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup of sweet corn
• 1/4 cup of diced onions
• 2 tsp of your favorite seasoning

For your garnishing/toppings, just add what you like! I added jalapeños, butter lettuce, Tapatio hot sauce, pico de gallo, and some vegan cheese shreds.

Instructions:

Start by pan searing the cauliflower for just a couple of minutes. You want the cauliflower to get a bit of color on it – this will create a great flavor and help with keeping a “rice like” texture. Once the cauliflower has some color, toss it in the bullet or food processor and just process it enough to where it looks like rice – we don’t want to make a cauliflower puree here!

Once you’re finished, toss into a pan over medium heat with all other ingredients in the bulleted list above and stir together until everything is up to temperature and the onions have had time to sweat a bit (they will be a bit shiny – this way you’re not eating raw-tasting onions!)

Add into a bowl and garnish with your favorite toppings! This will make a ton of food for a minimal amount of calories – always a good thing. 🙂
