    All you want is a burrito, and you want it now. Wait, stop for a moment and imagine that maybe it is really a veggie burrito bowl that your cravings are after.

    Paleo Vegetable Burrito Bowl.

    Your tongue is fixated on the roasted peppers and zucchini, and your mind is expecting the wrapper... only that element is unnecessary, not to mention impractical when you remove most grains from your life. In search of new solutions, and cooking in a more unique way, cauliflower rice was born.

    And yes, you can make a tortilla from cauliflower, just in case you were wondering. Today, however, we are just going to enjoy our burrito in a bowl.

    A vegetable burrito bowl is a wonderful meal for those times when you are catering to your beloved vegetarian and vegan friends - just remember to use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock in the cauliflower rice.

    It's also a beautiful reminder that meat-free meals can be just as amazingly delicious, and it might even come in handy after you have just binge-eaten too much bacon. The meal is light, refreshing, and full of lemon and crushed garlic; what's not to love? Perhaps the best part is that it suits either breakfast, lunch or dinner, definitely no wrong time of day to eat it.

    If you happen to be serving this burrito bowl on a hot summer day, why not add a lovely appetizer of tomato and cucumber gazpacho to complement the dish?
