Easy Healthy Cauliflower Burrito Bowl Food

CAULIFLOWER RICE BURRITO BOWL

Steps:

• Add beans to a small saucepan over medium heat and season with spices to taste. Once bubbling, reduce heat to low and stir occasionally.
• Prepare cauliflower rice by following these instructions. Then heat a large rimmed skillet over medium heat.
• Once hot, add oil, garlic, onion, and a pinch each salt and pepper. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Then add cauliflower 'rice' and stir to coat.
• Place the lid on to steam the rice for about 2-4 minutes or until almost tender like rice (al dente in texture), stirring occasionally. Chop up your bell pepper and onion at this time.
• Remove rice from heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salsa and fresh cilantro. Stir to combine and taste and adjust seasonings accordingly, adding salt, pepper, lime juice, salsa, or more spices as desired. Set aside.
• Heat the large skillet back over medium-high heat. Once hot, add oil, bell pepper and onion and a pinch of sea salt. Sauté, stirring frequently, until slightly softened and they take on a little color - about 4 minutes.
• To serve, divide rice, beans, and peppers between serving bowls. Enjoy as is or with corn tortillas, chips, salsa, lime juice, hot sauce, or guacamole (recipe in notes).
• Best when fresh, though leftovers keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
• Serve with desired toppings (listed above) or as is. I recommend avocado, lime juice, hot sauce, and cilantro.
• Best when fresh, though leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in a 350 degree F (176 C) oven until warmed through - about 20 minutes. See notes for instructions on making ahead of time.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER BURRITO BOWLS

Steps:

• Rice: Cook the rice according to package directions.
• 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.
• 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.
• Toss the tomatoes, onion, limes, and cilantro together to make a pico de gallo. Season with salt.
• Build a big bowl with rice, refried beans, corn, pico de gallo, avocado, and a lime wedge. Top the bowl with your roasted cauliflower and add your hot sauce if you want!

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER BURRITO

Steps:

• For the roasted vegetable filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, potatoes, mushrooms, chickpeas, olive oil, curry powder, cumin, 2 teaspoons salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix well to coat evenly. Spread the vegetables in a large roasting pan and roast until browned and lightly charred around the edges, about 20 minutes. (The cauliflower should still have a bite to it.) Keep warm.
• To assemble the burritos: Slightly heat up a tortilla in a large pan or over the open flame of a burner (this also helps prevent it from cracking when you roll it up). Smear a little of the Spicy Refried Beans down the middle. Add a pile of the roasted vegetables, then roll the end of the tortilla over the top of the filling, folding over both ends to hold the filling in place. Continue to roll over to form a tight log shape. Heat the canola in a large pan over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the pan and cook until golden brown and sealed, 1 to 2 minutes. Top each burrito with a heaping spoonful of Spicy Peach Chutney, then a handful of cabbage, then some onion. Add queso fresco and yogurt to taste, if using. Serve with an extra side of Spicy Refried Beans and Spicy Peach Chutney.
• Combine the peaches, turbinado sugar, apple cider vinegar, red onion, raisins, mustard seeds, ginger root, garam masala, turmeric, jalapenos, Fresno chile and garlic in a deep pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered with the lid slightly ajar, until all the excess liquid boils away and it has a thick, jam-like texture, 45 to 60 minutes. Cool completely and store in an air-tight jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
• Soak the beans in water overnight.
• Set a pressure cooker on medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the onions and cook until translucent, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapenos and cook until fragrant, 3 minutes. Add the cumin, drained beans, 2 tablespoons salt and 12 cups water. Cover with the lid and cook until the beans are tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove half of the beans and puree them in a blender with some of the liquid from the pot until completely smooth. Return the pureed beans to the pot with the remaining beans and mix together. Taste for seasoning and serve.

CAULIFLOWER RICE BURRITO BOWL

Steps:

• Place cauliflower in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until cauliflower is very finely chopped and resembles quinoa. Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, swirl to coat, and add cauliflower. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring only occasionally, until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Scrape into two serving bowls and top with lime zest. Return skillet to heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add red pepper, onions, and jalapeno or serrano. Season with salt and pepper and cook until softened on medium-high heat, about 4 minutes. Add cumin seeds, toss to coat, and continue to cook until seeds are just toasted, about 30 seconds.
• Divide mixture between serving bowls. In a small bowl, combine beans, lime juice, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and divide between serving bowls. Add avocado, herbs, yogurt or sour cream, and salsa to serving bowls, dividing evenly. Serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the cauliflower florets with the chipotle paste, ground coriander, rapeseed oil and some seasoning on a baking tray. Roast for 15-20 mins, or until the cauliflower is lightly charred and tender throughout.
• Cook the rice following pack instructions. While the rice is still warm, toss it with the black beans to warm them through, then divide the mixture between two deep bowls. Mix the tomatoes, red onion, lime juice and fresh coriander together with a pinch of salt. Top the rice mixture with the roast cauliflower, tomato salsa and avocado slices, then sprinkle with chilli flakes, if you like, before serving.
