Ingredients:

  • 1/2 medium head cauliflower (about 300 grams, riced)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Pinch of taco seasoning
  • 1 black bean burger, heated and sliced
  • 1/3 cup red bell peppers, sliced
  • 1/4 cup yellow onion, sliced
  • 1/3 cup salsa, divided
  • 1/4 cup black beans
  • 1/4 of one avocado
  • 2 tablespoons sliced olives
  • 1/4 cup vegan shredded cheese (optional)1 tomato, chopped
  • Cilantro for garnish

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Remove stems from cauliflower and chop florets slightly. Place into a food processor and “rice” until it resembles short-grain rice. Lay cauliflower on a nonstick baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and taco seasoning. Bake for 20 minutes.
  2. Coat a sauté pan with cooking spray and add the bell pepper and onion. Cook over medium heat until soft and caramelized (about 5 minutes).
  3. Mix half of the salsa and beans together.
  4. Assemble bowl by adding the cauli-rice, black bean burger, sautéed vegetables and bean mixture. Decorate with avocado, olives, cheese, tomato and cilantro. Top with remaining salsa, and serve.

  2. Little Lou says:

    I just did this one for my family and it was a great sucess!
    I used red beans instead of black ones and added them to the bell peppers and it worked out quite well 🙂
    And this cauliflower “rice” is so delicious! Thanks a lot

    Hey Cassey, been following your workouts and inspiration for 2-3 years now and you’ve been infinitely helpful to me!! Please can you do some packed meals (breakfast/lunch and tea) as with my hectic lifestyle I find it hard to eat well on the go! Also you are an amazing role model, you really are the best insiration I have seen anywhere!

    please healthify any kind of sweets because I love chocolate, cookies,dessert, cake and so on 🙂 or you could make a video about school lunch ideas because I am always hungry in school.
    lots of love, lisa

    1. quenni says:

      Yes please!!!!!!! I need to bring healthier things in my lunch, but I have no time at night to make elaborate meals so a quick healthy school lunch series would be awesome

    Hello Cassey! I’m super excited because you will be coming to Singapore next sunday!

    I really love bread especially those with sweet fillings such as red bean. However, they are actually very high in calories and I feel that they are making me gain weight despite working out. I am on Pitt 28 1.0 now!

    Will really love to see how my all time favorite food can be a less guilty food for me.

    Hey Cassey, I am so glad you are making vegan recipes now. I know the whole freelee controversy may not be your favorite subject, but I really look up to you and would love it if you commit to veganism. When I first watched the video, I thought it was very critical, but after opening my eyes to animal cruelty and how unhealthy animal products are for the body, I love freelee and realize the point she was trying to make. Honestly, I had limited my calories so much while following you and became very underweight (which i know wasnt your intention) and it wasn’t until I found freelee and veganism a little over a month ago that I realized I can now eat as much as I want and will not have to worry about getting fat. After extensive research, I believe the vegan lifestyle to be the healthiest on the planet and does not cause eating disorders like calorie restricting and other diets.

    Cassey! It was great to see you in action at the Zespri Kiwi Fest in Malaysia and your energy is just phenomenal. So happy to finally see you and getting all the good vibes aura 😀

    Enjoy your stay in Malaysia!

  14. I actually used to work at Chipotle and all of their ingredients are homemade and easy to make. This is a much lower calorie version of what you’d get there!

    Hey Cassey! I wasn’t sure where to post this question, but I guess this is as good a place as any. Would you make a video dedicated to tips on how to gain healthy weight? There isn’t nearly as much education on this topic compared to education on how to lose weight. I am struggling to put on weight. I have a very fast metabolism, plus I am very active and get full very quickly. I also recently got over a period of anorexia and have gone down two sizes. I am happy to say that this period is over, and now I am trying to properly educate myself in having a real healthy lifestyle– but my body just doesn’t seem to know how to bounce back! Your videos are always full of very helpful instruction– Please consider my request! I know that I am not the only one who will find a video like this helpful. Lots of love!! <3

    1. Liv says:

      Yes! This would be great as I am trying to do the same thing but from orthorexia 🙂

    2. Éléanne Langlois says:

      I totally agree! I’ve struggled with anorexia, followed by orthorexia, and have finally overcome these problems 🙂 But now, I need to get back on track, and this would be the perfect way!

  16. Mandy says:

    A dessert maybe ? 🙂

  17. pennyj says:

    Looks delicious! Do you have a recipe for black bean burger? Thanks!

  18. Safia says:

    Hi Cassey! I love your channel so much, so thank you for all that you do! You’re so inspiring!
    I know you don’t like chocolate, but I am a huge fan of dark chocolate. Could you make a cheap clean eats video for healthy chocolate cake or brownies (or birthday cake or blondies to accommodate your taste buds ?)
    Thanks!! ❤️

    1. Michaela says:

      thats a good idea actually. but in case cassey never gets around to it, I’m sure there are videos out there that make such a thing. Won’t be as good as anything cassey makes haha, but its worth a try to explore 🙂
