This easy-to-make and meal-prep burrito bowl is even better than takeout! You'll never miss the carbs in this protein-packed, super-flavorful meal that replaces the cilantro-lime rice with cauliflower rice. We love this with chicken but it would be just as delicious with shrimp.

Ingredients

4 cups cauliflower florets
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon salt, divided
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1 cup canned pinto beans, rinsed
1 ripe avocado, diced
¼ cup pico de gallo or fresh salsa
¼ cup shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
Lime wedges for serving

Directions

Pulse cauliflower in a food processor until chopped into rice-size pieces. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is softened, about 5 minutes. Cover and keep warm.
Position a rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler to high. Coat a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
Season chicken with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place on the prepared baking sheet and broil for 9 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, chipotles, garlic powder and cumin in a small bowl.
Turn the chicken over, brush with the chipotle glaze and continue broiling until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes more. Transfer to a clean cutting board and chop into bite-size pieces.
Assemble each bowl with 1/2 cup each cauliflower rice, chicken and lettuce, 1/4 cup beans, 1/4 avocado and 1 tablespoon each pico de gallo (or salsa) and cheese. Serve with a lime wedge.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
