Preparation
Cook the rice
Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a medium pot, combine the rice, 2 ½ cups water, ½ the spices and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Roast the cauliflower
Meanwhile, roughly chop the cauliflower. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 15 to 17 min., until lightly browned and tender.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, mince the garlic. Juice the limes. Medium-dice the tomatoes. Drain and rinse the black beans.
Sauté the black beans
In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add ½ the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the black beans and ½ the lime juice. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until warmed through; season with S&P.
Make the lime mayo
In a small bowl, combine the mayo, remaining lime juice and garlic, and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the rice between your bowls. Top, side by side, with the cauliflower, black beans, tomatoes and cheese. Serve the lime mayo on the side. Bon appétit!
