Instructions 

  • Prepare the cauliflower. If using fresh cauliflower, dice in food processor until it reaches the appearance of rice. Be careful not to over-chop. If using frozen cauliflower rice, thaw using directions on package. Set aside.
  • Put oil in skillet on medium heat. Add onion, jalapeño pepper, and garlic and sauté until translucent.
  • Turn skillet to medium-high heat and add the cauliflower, Rotel, mixed vegetables, Roma tomato, salt, chili powder, and chili pepper. Stir everything together and let cook for 5 minutes (stirring at least once a minute to make sure nothing sticks to the pan).
  • Add freshly chopped cilantro and serve!

Notes

A healthy, low-carb version of a classic Mexican dish. It is gluten-free, dairy-free, and will keep everyone coming back for more!
