Ingredients
1 lb white fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 small head of cauliflower, grated (for "rice")
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 avocado, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
For the avocado sauce:
1/2 avocado
1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1 tablespoon lime juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish is baking, prepare the cauliflower rice. Grate the cauliflower using a box grater or pulse it in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the grated cauliflower to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper and stir in lime juice.
- To make the avocado sauce, blend the avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- Once the fish is ready, flake it into bite-sized pieces with a fork.
- Assemble the bowls by placing a base of cauliflower rice in each bowl, then top with the seasoned fish, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, avocado slices, and a drizzle of avocado sauce.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
Notes
Vegetarian Option: Swap the fish for roasted tofu or tempeh for a plant-based version of this bowl.
Spicy Kick: Add some sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce on top for an extra spicy punch.
Taco Bowl with Cheese: If you’re not strictly low-carb, you can sprinkle some shredded cheese or crumbled queso fresco over the top of the bowls for added richness.
Add More Veggies: Feel free to add extra toppings like cucumber, bell peppers, or radishes for extra crunch and flavor.
