Oct 22, 2018 | Nourishment

Ingredients:

 

  • ½ pound vegan chorizo
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 jalapeños, seeded and minced
  • 1 ½ c cooked black beans
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles—NO SALT added
  • 2 Tbsp. avocado oil
  • 1 pkg cauliflower rice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tomato, seeded and chopped
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder—I prefer chipotle
  • ½ tsp pink Himalayan salt
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • ½  c vegetable broth
  • Cilantro leaves
  • Avocado slices

Directions:

  • Brown chorizo to hot skillet. The caramelization achieved in this process develops a deeper flavor and adds richness to your meal.
  • Add onions, carrots, bell pepper and jalapeños to the pan and sauté until onions are clear. If the pan is too dry, add a small amount of vegetable broth.
  • Add tomatoes with chiles and black beans. Stir together.
  • Once combined, add garlic powder, chili powder and cumin.
  • Cover and simmer while preparing rice.
  • Add ¼ c avocado oil to heated pan. Stir in onion, garlic and tomato. Cook until onions become translucent.
  • Add cauliflower and dry spices. Mix together. Add vegetable broth to avoid sticking.

Tips:

To serve:  Add rice to a bowl and smother in chili. Top the whole thing off with sliced avocado and chopped cilantro.  Add a side salad to complete the meal.

 

Total Prep Time: 30 minutes, Serves 4
