Ingredients

  • 2 pounds cauliflower cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fajita seasoning
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt adjust according to taste
  • 3/4 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
  • Fresh lime juice for that zesty kick

Instructions

  • Start by washing the cauliflower and cutting it into florets. This will make it easier to process into rice-sized pieces.
  • In your food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice grains. Be careful not to over-process; you want a nice texture, not a mushy mixture.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Make sure it’s hot but not smoking.
  • Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet. Stir it around for about 5-7 minutes until it starts to soften and turn golden.
  • Sprinkle the fajita seasoning and salt over the cauliflower rice. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.
  • Pour in the salsa and chopped cilantro, stirring to combine. Allow it to cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
  • Remove the skillet from heat. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top, giving it a final stir before serving.

Equipment

Notes
