Broccoli lime rice & black bean burrito bowls with fajita veggies, avocado, and your favorite toppings. Perfect for a quick meal!

There other night I had a bad dream about blogging.

It’s kind of fuzzy now but I’m pretty sure it involved sending out an incomplete post draft; my half baked ideas and photos exposed to the masses.

Gasp.

But really, it was mildly terrifying and I’m so glad you’re reading this in its fully executed state.

What’s more worrisome, though, is that I don’t have enough Mexican recipes on the blog.

Let’s fix that.

These Broccoli Lime Rice & Black Bean Burrito Bowls come together in under 30 minutes for a delicious grain-free and gluten-free twist on the classic!

The Best Cauliflower Rice

I remember the first time I heard cauliflower and rice in the same sentence I was totally floored.

Cauliflower rice might as well be a classic now, because it’s a permanent part of my foodie vocabulary.

Broccoli rice, though, is very new.

Have you tried it?

I hadn’t tried it until recently, mostly because I wasn’t dying to shove a head of broccoli into the blender.

Cece’s Veggie Noodle Co. makes it so easy with their new Riced Broccoli!

Add a big squeeze of lime and some spice and you’ve got the perfect tender nutrient dense base to pile on the Mexican toppings.

How to Make Broccoli Lime Rice Burrito Bowls

Heat a large rimmed skillet over medium heat.

Once it’s warm, add a bit of avocado oil spray and the riced broccoli (~5 cups).

Season with garlic powder, onion, and a pinch each salt and pepper. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Place the lid on to steam the “rice” for 5-7 minutes or until tender and fragrant, stirring occasionally.

Remove rice from heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Add the lime juice, cumin, salsa and fresh cilantro.

Stir to combine and adjust seasonings accordingly, adding more salt, pepper, lime juice, salsa, or more spices to taste.

Heat the large skillet back over medium-high heat.

Add a little more avocado oil spray (optional) and the bell pepper and onion and a pinch of sea salt.

Sauté, stirring frequently, until slightly softened but still vibrantly colored (~about 5 minutes).

Add beans to a small saucepan over medium heat and season with cumin and coriander.

Once it’s warm, cover until ready to serve.

How to Serve Broccoli Lime Rice Burrito Bowls

To serve, divide broccoli rice, black beans, and fajita veggies between serving bowls.

I love mine with sliced avocado, hot sauce, salsa, cilantro, and a big squeeze of lime.

These Broccoli Lime Rice & Black Bean Burrito Bowls are fun, fresh, and seasoned to perfection.

Simple enough to make in a hurry with easy flavor upgrades from fresh squeezed lime, cumin, and coriander.

Tender riced broccoli piled high with warm black beans, tender-crisp fajita veggies, and all of the Mexican fixings.

Enjoy them anytime you’re feeling like a different kind of a fiesta.

If you can’t find Cece’s Veggie Noodle Co. Broccoli Rice near you, you can rice your own broccoli or feel free to sub cauliflower rice instead!

Store leftovers for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
