Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them into a food processor. Pulse until it reaches the consistency of rice.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the cauliflower rice and season with 0.5 teaspoon salt, 0.5 teaspoon pepper, and the ground cumin. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Season the chicken thighs with chipotle powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Cook the chicken in the skillet over medium heat for about 6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then dice it into bite-sized pieces.
Prepare the toppings. Dice the avocado and halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the cilantro. Cut the lime into wedges.
Assemble the burrito bowls by dividing the cauliflower rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with an equal portion of the diced chicken.
Add avocado, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro to each bowl.
Serve with a lime wedge on the side to squeeze over the top just before eating for a fresh burst of flavor.
