Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the cauliflower (1 head) into large chunks and place in a food processor. Pulse for 5 to 6 seconds until the cauliflower has broken down into small rice-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    In a pan on medium heat, saute the onion (1) and garlic (1 clove) in olive oil (1 tsp) for 3 minutes until the onions soften. Add in the cauliflower rice, salt (0.25 tsp), and chopped tomatoes (2 cups), cover with a lid and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes until the cauliflower rice has begun to soften in texture.

  3. 3

    Add in the cumin (1.5 tbsp), smoked paprika (2 tsp), lime juice (1 tbsp) and [pinch cayenne]. Continue to cook until the cauliflower becomes tender but not mushy. Stir in the fresh cilantro (0.25 cup) just before serving. Serve with optional toppings like [chopped avocado], [salsa], [vegan shredded chicken], and [jalapeno].
