Ingredients

Wet Rub:

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast

Pico De Gallo:

  • 1 jalapeño diced
  • 1 red onion diced
  • 3 ripe tomatos diced
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro roughly chopped
  • 1 lime juiced

Sautéed Peppers and Onions:

  • Oil of choice
  • 1 bell pepper sliced
  • 1 onion sliced

Mexican Cauliflower Rice:

  • 1 12- ounce bag cauliflower rice or one head cauliflower
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
  • Scallions sliced for garnish

Chipotle Crema:

  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 lime squeezed more to taste

Instructions

  • 1. Pat chicken dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Place chicken in a bowl and add the rest of the wet rub ingredients. Mix until chicken is well coated in the spice rub.
  • 2. Grill chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until chicken is opaque and fully cooked through. If using a grill pan, cover the pan during the cooking process to make sure the chicken cooks through.
  • 3. While chicken is on the grill, prepare the cauliflower rice. Heat a medium skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add in cauli rice and the rest of the ingredients and saute for 5-8 minutes, until the cauliflower is cooked through. Take off heat and set aside. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • 4. Once chicken is cooked through, let cool, dice and set aside until ready to eat.
  • 5. In a separate medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Add in sliced onions and peppers. Saute until onions begin to caramelize, about 8 minutes. Take off heat and set aside.
  • 6. Add pico de gallo ingredients to a medium mixing bowl and stir until well combined. Set aside until ready to eat. 7. Add chipotle crema ingredients to a small mixing bowl and whisk until well combined. 8. Assemble bowl: Place cauliflower rice on the bottom, top with grilled chicken, sauted onions and peppers, black beans if using, pico de gallo, scallions, and a drizzle of chipotle crema.

Notes

This is a great meal prep item! Prep all of the ingredients the day before, and then simple assemble the bowl when ready to eat! Simply omit beans and cheese for whole30!
