Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower about 4 cups riced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

  • Chop the cauliflower into florets and add to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until you have small rice-sized pieces. Alternately, finely chop the cauliflower into rice-sized pieces with a sharp knife.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the cauliflower to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often. 
  • Cover the skillet with a lid and continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the cauliflower is as soft as you'd like. 
  • Remove cauliflower from the heat and stir in the cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. 
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Many grocery stores sell riced cauliflower or 'cauliflower crumbles' in the produce department. Those work great here if you're trying to save time.
