Begin by preparing the pico de gallo: dice the tomato and red onion, finely chop the jalapeño (removing seeds for less heat), and chop the cilantro. Combine them in a bowl with a pinch of salt and the juice of half a lime; set aside.
Slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips and clean and slice the portobello mushrooms.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft.
In a separate pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice, and sauté for 5 minutes until cooked and slightly golden. Season with a pinch of salt.
While the veggies cook, prepare the avocado by slicing it in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and the juice from the remaining half of the lime. Mash with a fork until you have a smooth or chunky consistency as desired.
To assemble the burritos, lay out two butter lettuce leaves slightly overlapping as a base. Add a scoop of cauliflower rice, followed by the chipotle veggie mixture, mashed avocado, and top with freshly made pico de gallo.
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining servings. Serve immediately and enjoy these flavorful Whole30 chipotle veggie burritos!
