Ingredients Notes:
Riced Cauliflower:
- It touches on the use of fresh cauliflower, which should be grated at home or riced in the store. Simply cook until tender, but leave some firmness to have the ideal texture.
Black Beans:
- They are protein- and fiber-rich sources of plant food, and that makes the meal satisfying. Canned beans, you always want to rinse and rinse them at a point where they have fewer salts and they get a good taste.
Sweet Corn:
- Adds some color and sweetness to the food. You can use canned corn or fresh-off-the-cob/frozen (thawed) corn.
Seasoning:
- Hot and rich taco spices, such as chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder, are customary. Put the spices to taste (to modify to make it mild or spicy).
Salsa & Tomatoes:
- The salsa adds freshness and moisture to the texture as well, and the tomatoes give the feeling of freshness and liquids. And just go with a chunky, smooth salsa, mild or spicy to your taste.
Avocado:
- Adds creamy richness and oils that are heart-healthy. The avocado should be sliced or mashed just before service to ensure that the texture is not lost and it does not brown.
