Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Serving: 4 servings

 

Ingredients:

One medium head cauliflower, riced

One tablespoon olive oil

One small onion, finely chopped

Two cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

One green bell pepper, diced

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

One can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

One can (14 oz) diced tomatoes with juices

One tablespoon chili powder

One teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Lime wedges for serving

Avocado slices for serving

 

Directions:

Prepare the cauliflower rice by removing the leaves and stem from the cauliflower. Cut it into florets, then use a food processor to pulse them until they resemble rice.

Set aside. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet or pan. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet.

Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent and aromatic. Stir in the diced red and green bell peppers and corn kernels.

Cook for another 5 minutes until the peppers are slightly softened. Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet and mix well with the other vegetables.

Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and add the drained black beans. Stir everything together. Season the mixture with chilli powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Cover the skillet and let the cauliflower rice mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender.

Once the cauliflower is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.

Serve the Mexican Cauliflower Rice Skillet hot, with lime wedges and avocado slices on the side for extra flavour and creaminess.
