Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup white or brown rice
  • 1 head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning, divided
  • 1 14-ounce can of black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 roma tomatoes, chopped
  • half of a small red onion, chopped
  • juice of 2 limes + more wedges for serving
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Method
 

  1. Cook the rice according to package directions.
  2. Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Toss the cauliflower florets with the olive oil and half of the taco seasoning. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through to prevent burning.
  3. Combine the black beans, water, and remaining taco seasoning in a small saucepan. Bring to a low simmer. Mash the black beans with the back of a spoon until the mixture starts to get creamy. It should continue to thicken as it stays over medium low heat.
  4. Toss the tomatoes, onion, limes, and cilantro together to make a pico de gallo. Season with salt.
  5. Assemble your burrito bowls with rice, roasted cauliflower, creamy black beans, and fresh pico de gallo. Serve with extra lime wedges if desired.

Notes

- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet when roasting the cauliflower; this ensures even caramelization instead of steaming. Use two sheets if needed.
- For extra depth, use fire-roasted tomatoes in your pico de gallo.
- If the black bean mixture gets too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water or vegetable broth until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Leftover cauliflower burrito bowls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
