Looking to lighten up your dinner but keep all of your family's favourite Mexican flavours? These Cauliflower Rice Burrito Bowls are a great way to pull more plants into your family dinner without sacrificing any taste. Let the family pick & choose the contents of their own bowls for an easy dinner everyone will love. Top with guacamole & salsa, or add some kick with hot sauce, crumbled tortilla chips, or feta. When the guacamole is the star, like it is here, we use chunky, chip-breaking guacamole made with 95% avocado from Yucatan Guacamole. We also highly recommend these Fresh Guacamole Pizzettes!

We love a meal where everyone stays in charge of their own dinner choices. Because some nights we just don't have energy left for dinnertime drama! For these Cauliflower Rice Burrito Bowls, we start with a cauliflower & rice mixture with beans and guacamole in each bowl, and then toppings and protein add-ons are everyone's own choice. Voila...no drama. These bowls are so easy & such a family hit that they are in high rotation rain or shine. The creamy fresh taste of Yucatan Guacamole is perfect for bowls, tacos, burgers and so much more!
