  • 1/2 tspย saltย 

Smokey chipotle black beans

  • Salt & pepper to tasteย 

Other ingredients

  • 1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into cubesย 
  • 1/2 cup cooked corn (omit if eating entirely “grain-free”)ย 
  • 1 avocado, mashed (I like to add a squeeze of lime and pinch of salt)ย

Instructions

  1. Make the cauliflower rice: Add the cauliflower florets to a food processor and pulse until grainy. (don’t over pulse!) Heat the avocado oil in a large pan on medium-high heat then add the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Add the cauliflower and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. Season with salt.ย 
  2. Prep the chipotle black beans: Heat the avocado oil on medium-high heat in a pan then add the onion and pepper for cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix together letting cook for another 2-3 minutes.ย 
  3. Roast the sweet potato: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking pan with parchmentย paper. Place the cubed sweet potato on the pan and bake for 20-30 minutes until tender, flipping halfway through.ย 
  4. Putting it all together: Add some cauliflower rice to the bottom of your bowl and top with the chipotle black beans, roasted sweet potatoes, corn, guacamole, fresh cilantro and your favourite salsa.ย ย
