Instructions
To Prepare the Cauliflower Rice:
- Remove the green stems off the cauliflower and chop the head of cauliflower in half.
- Grate the whole head (one half at a time) on the box grater. It’s okay if you leave some small florets.
- In a large skillet, heat oil to medium-high heat.
- Add the cauliflower, lime juice, chili powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir everything together and cover the skillet.
- Cook the cauliflower, stirring consistently, until it is softened and browned, about 15 to 20 minutes.
To Make the Guacamole:
- Peel and pit the avocados and place them in a bowl.
- Add the lime juice, garlic, onion, jalapino, and mash with a fork or chop with a knife (to leave the guacamole chunky, use a knife to chop everything together).
- Add the chopped tomato and cilantro and fold into the guacamole.
To make awesome burrito bowls:
- Add the garbanzo beans to a saucepan and heat on medium to medium-high until hot.
- Steam an ear of corn about 5 to 8 minutes. When it’s cool enough to handle, carefully remove the kernels using a knife.
- Dish desired amount of cauliflower rice, beans, and corn into a bowl. Add pico de gallo and guacamole and go to town!
