How to make cauliflower burrito bowls

1. Roast the cauliflower: Slice the cauliflower heads into florets then place onto a sheetpan. Drizzle with olive oil, chipotle seasoning and salt then toss to make sure the cauliflower is covered. Place in a hot oven and roast for 20-30 minute or until the cauliflower is fork-tender. While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the rice, pico de gallo and corn.
2. Build the bowl: In the bottom of a serving bowl, add a few spoonfuls of rice. Add the roasted cauliflower on top then add salsa/pico de gallo, avocado, corn, chillies and fresh coriander. Serve with lime wedges.
