Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Place the beans, bell peppers, onions, water, chili powder, cumin, and ¼ tsp of the salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the riced cauliflower and the remaining of the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally until the cauliflower is heated through and just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Step 3

Add ¼ cup of the cilantro and the lime juice and stir to combine. Pour the rice into a bowl and top with the bean and veggie mixture, chicken, fresh lettuce, tomato, Pico de Gallo, cilantro, and ½ avocado slices.
