What Makes This Recipe So Good
Uh, so guess what. I love tofu. Not like, I ate it when I was a vegetarian. Not, it was forced upon me at vegan restaurants. Like straight up, I freaking love tofu. I like tofu “chicken” nuggets, and I really like Chick-Fil-A tofu nuggets, too. I like beer battered tofu tacos, and I’m really into lemongrass tofu, as well. Yeah, so, uh, we were clearly vegetarian there for a while, eh? I have no shame: I love tofu. I just don’t really love phytoestrogens and anti-nutrients, so we don’t eat it often. I wish we could, though: something about the little blocks just speaks to me, and I can’t really explain it. Plus it’s hella cheap and it stays good in the fridge for forever. But I also don’t really like, want to turn on any genes that are linked to breast cancer, so we minimize our consumption. The problem is, though, that one of my all-time favorite dishes, Chipotle’s Sofritas, is made with tofu. And my homemade sofritas are made with tofu, too, of course. Definitely a no-no on a Whole30 but not really a great option when you’re just doin’ regular life, either. I got you. These Whole30 chipotle beef & avocado bowls are the answer. I was inspired to turn the perfection of this smoky, saucy protein over cauliflower rice, topped with a ginormous helping of a super quick and easy guac into a Whole30 chipotle beef & avocado bowl. Totally compliant, totally delicious, and made with plenty of veggies, protein, and healthy fats.
How To Make It
Blend up a roasted poblano pepper with some tomato salsa, lots of fresh garlic, and smoky chipotle powder. Brown a bit of grass-fed ground beef in a skillet then add in plenty of minced, baby Bella mushrooms, sauté until perfectly perfect. Stir in the savory sauce until rich and bubbling, then pour over some fresh, steamed cauliflower rice with plenty of fresh lime juice and cilantro stirred in. Top it all with a massive helping of guacamole, and you’re absolutely set!
Why I Love Mushrooms
You’re going to love these Whole30 chipotle beef & avocado bowls because they are loaded with flavor, bright, creamy, and so filling! Perfect for this impending warmer weather (Fingers crossed, Y’all.).
