Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, riced

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (use fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 red bell pepper, diced into small pieces

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cauliflower Rice: Start by removing the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cutting it into smaller florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble small grains of rice. If you don't have a food processor, you can alternatively use a box grater to achieve the same result.

    Cook the Cauliflower Rice: In a spacious skillet, add the extra virgin olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Once hot, add in the riced cauliflower along with garlic powder, smoked paprika, and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sauté this mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is slightly tender while still maintaining a satisfying crunch.

      Incorporate Vegetables: Next, stir in the black beans, corn, and diced red bell pepper into the skillet with the cauliflower rice. Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through and the vegetables are softened yet remain vibrantly colored.

        Assemble the Bowl: Carefully layer the warm cauliflower rice mixture into a serving bowl. Evenly distribute the diced avocado and halved cherry tomatoes on top, arranging them beautifully for a visually appealing dish.

          Finish with Lime Juice: Squeeze the juice of the lime evenly over the entire bowl, enhancing the flavors and adding a lovely brightness. Don’t forget to sprinkle chopped cilantro generously on top for a fresh finish.

            Serve Immediately: Delight in your nutritious and colorful Cauliflower Rice Bowl while it's warm or allow it to rest at room temperature for a few minutes before serving!
