What diet?! You will not believe the flavor explosion of this Whole30 Fish Taco Bowl with Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice.

Okay okay, cilantro lime cauliflower rice is not the same as cilantro lime regular rice. But, this Whole30 fish taco bowl is still super delicious. If you have been a follower of The Seasonal Junkie for a while, you know that I like to Whole30 every once in a while. I try to walk the straight and narrow at least once a year. And what can I say #NEWYEARNEWME.

But this year something magical happened…. I got a good chunk of my office to participate too. Which, Hello Accountability! I know it’s only been 7 days, but I honestly have had zero desire to cheat, which is awesome.

Anywho, for me to stay loyal to the Whole30 program I have to have variety.

Say it with me, VARIETY. GIVE ME OPTIONS!

So that is where this fish taco bowl with cilantro lime cauliflower rice comes in. The lime paired with the crunch of the red cabbage. Boom texture/flavor heaven. And yes, the cilantro lime cauliflower rice is amazing, but you won’t super bloated or gross after eating it. Really, it’s a win-win.

I used tilapia for the fish in this fish taco bowl, but really any white fish works and would pair nicely with the cilantro lime cauliflower rice. Speaking of pairing, this Whole30 Fish Taco Bowl wouldn’t be complete with out a mango salsa. It is super easy to make and adds a pinch of sweetness that you will very much appreciate if you are participating in Whole30.

Now, I forgot to mention. If you are not doing Whole30, this Fish Taco Bowl with Cilantro Lime Cauliflower rice, can be made with normal rice. (Also helpful if you are prepping for others *cough,cough my fiance*) And it will be equally delicious.

Well I will let you hop to it, this baby whips up quickly and is a great addition to the weekly meal prep!
