You might be skeptical at the thought of rice made from beets (we certainly were), but trust us, it works beautifully.

Ingredients
Dressing
- 5 tbsp avocado oil, divided 2 cloves garlic, minced 6 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro 3 tbsp fresh lime juice 1 tbsp coconut aminos (TRY: Big Tree Farms Coco Aminos) 1 tbsp avocado oil mayonnaise ¼ tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper
Bowls
1½ lb golden beets, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tbsp avocado oil
½ small yellow onion, minced
½ tsp each ground cumin and chile powder
½ tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper
3 cups chopped rotisserie chicken (NOTE: Check to ensure chicken is made with compliant ingredients.)
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
½ cup all-natural salsa
Preparation
1. Make dressing: To a small skillet on low, add 1 tbsp oil and garlic. Let sizzle for 30 seconds then transfer to a small food processor. Add 4 tbsp oil, cilantro, lime juice, coconut aminos, mayonnaise, salt and pepper; process to combine. Set aside.
2. Make bowls: Place beets in a food processor; pulse until small, rice-size pieces form. (Alternatively, make the beets into spirals then pulse in the food processor.) Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
3. In a medium skillet on medium, heat 2 tbsp oil. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until just becoming tender, about 3 minutes. Add beet rice, cumin, chile powder, salt and pepper. Add 2 tbsp water and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and water has evaporated, about 2 minutes more. Divide among bowls.
4. Top rice in each bowl with chicken, lettuce, avocado and salsa. Drizzle each with 1 to 2 tbsp dressing. Serve extra dressing alongside.
