- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Instructions
Start by preparing the cauliflower rice: Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower, then chop it into florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower resembles small rice grains. Set aside.
Next, prepare the chipotle chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the chipotle powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are cooked through and slightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion. Sauté for approximately 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Add the cauliflower rice to the vegetable mixture. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and heated through.
While the cauliflower rice is cooking, prepare the toppings: Dice the avocado and tomato. Roughly chop the cilantro. Slice the lime into wedges.
To assemble the burrito bowls, divide the cauliflower rice and vegetable mixture evenly among four bowls.
Top each bowl with the cooked chipotle chicken. Add the diced avocado and tomato.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and a lime wedge.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Paleo Chipotle Chicken Burrito Bowl!
