Mexican Cauliflower Rice Recipe
Wowsa…Y’all really love the cauliflower rice. After the recent Cauliflower Fried Rice recipe, lots of requests came in for other ways to mix up this healthy side dish. Craving Mexican Rice a couple of nights ago but not wanting to tack on too many more points/calories to my meal, I ended up whipping up this simple version of a traditional Mexican rice with cauliflower rice. I left out the peas since they are pretty carbohydrate heavy for folks on a low-carb diet, but you could easily work them back in. Also one tip if you find yourself eating cauliflower rice a lot is to make up a big batch and freeze it. It can be slightly annoying to make so tackle a big batch in one sitting and then freeze individual or family size portions for a quick side dish.
