Cauliflower Rice Fajita Bowl

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Cauliflower rice fajita bowl gives you all the flavor without all the calories. Certainly add some chicken for protein and texture.

First, start with a base of riced cauliflower. I usually use frozen; however, fresh works just as well, though it’s more labor-intensive. Next, the fajita seasoning is what truly brings this recipe together. If you already have fajita seasoning in your spice cupboard, that’s perfect; otherwise, I’ll share an easy recipe for the seasoning.

Lastly, I love the rich flavor that roasting brings out in the vegetables.

Here are the ingredients for the fajita seasoning mix for cauliflower rice fajita bowl.

• Cornstarch
• Chili powder
• Salt
• Paprika
• Sugar
• Onion powder
• Garlic powder
• Cumin
• Cayenne

Moreover to finish, some of my favorite toppings for this fajita bowl include plain Greek yogurt, tomatoes, pico de gallo or salsa, pickled jalapeños, lettuce, and guacamole.

A perfect summer recipe that definitely won’t weigh you down. It’s a sizeable portion with a calorie count of 560 for 2 1/2 cups. Slightly higher calories if you add chicken. A quick and healthy meal for a weeknight especially if you’re using a rotisserie chicken.

If you love cauliflower as much as I do here’s a recipe for cauliflower tacos. Recently I tried the Tattooed Chef’s cauliflower pizza bowl and it was fantastic.
