Gluten-Free Southwest Rice Bowl

This recipe is one of my busy night go-tos. I keep cauliflower rice and BurgerFit burgers always in my freezer and canned black beans in my pantry. With always having these handy, I can throw together a healthy dinner in minutes. I can also throw in greens, cooked veggies, and fresh cilantro if I have any. This is also one of Fletcher’s favorite meals, he is always asking me for rice and beans. He has no idea that he is actually eating cauliflower or veggies in his burgers.

Notes

The Southwest Rice Bowl is your go-to dish for sneaking in extra veggies. You can use cauliflower instead of rice, add peppers, onions, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, or anything else you have. Once the extra toppings on there like cheese, sour cream, salsa and/or hot sauce, picky eaters won't be able to tell the difference.
