First of all, I am officially obsessed with Mexican cauliflower rice. Not only is it quick and easy, it’s really versatile!
There’s sweetness from the tomatoes, smokiness from the cumin, citrus-y brightness from the lime, and subtle heat from the jalapeno. In the time it takes you to cook regular rice, the whole cauliflower dish is done and ready to eat.
Also, the cauliflower also absorbs whatever you mix it with. You can make a Asian-influenced cauliflower fried rice, or add a Mexican touch, like in this recipe.

There are not that many ingredients and most you have in your local supermarket. Don’t forget to zests your citrus (its your free ingredient) for extra pow flavor.
I promise you will love this. Tom is my toughest critic and incredibly picky about substituting rice or pasta, and even he loves the cauliflower rice recipes. In my book, that is a job well done!
