Ingredients

Full burrito bowls recipe with instructions can be found in the recipe card below. 

• Cauliflower. 
• Olive oil. 
• Chipotle seasoning.
• Salt
• Rice. You could use any rice of your choice here, or leave it out and build the bowl on a bed of greens instead. I used Jasmine rice but basmati rice or brown rice will also be delicious.
• Pico de gallo. 
• Avocado. 
• Charred corn. I cook the corn in a hot pan until golden and caramelized. Frozen corn, canned corn or fresh corn will all work.
• Lime. 
• Coriander. 
• Sliced chillies. 
• More topping suggestions: Guacamole, salsa, pickled onions, jalapenos, sour cream, crumbled feta cheese/cotija cheese, grilled chicken.

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.
