Make

  1. Heat oven to 500F / 260C.
  2. Spread cauliflower out onto a sheet pan and cover tightly with foil. "Steam" in oven for 10 minutes.
  3. When cauliflower has finished steaming, remove foil. Toss cauliflower with olive oil, paprika, cumin, hot sauce, and some salt and pepper. Return cauliflower to oven and continue roasting for 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Heat a wok or skillet with cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add corn and shallots and saute until corn is lightly blackened, ~4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in bell peppers, cilantro (portion for salsa), and lime juice. Season with a pinch of salt.
  5. If quinoa was made ahead reheat in the microwave. (Reserve half for Thursday.)
  6. Assemble by dividing quinoa between serving bowls. Top quinoa with cauliflower, avocados, corn salsa, and cilantro leaves (portion for bowls). Serve with sour cream and tortilla chips on the side.
