Ingredients
- ½ head cauliflower (or 5 oz of frozen riced cauliflower per serving )
- ¼ sweet onion (diced)
- ¾ tsp garlic (minced)
- ¼ jalapeño pepper (finely diced)
- ¼ cup Rotel (tomatoes and green chiles flavor preferred)
- ¼ cup mixed vegetables (I used frozen, but you can also use canned veggies or cut up some of your favorite fresh vegetables)
- ¼ Roma tomato (chopped)
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- 1 pinch chili pepper
- ¾ tsp olive oil
- ½ tsp chopped cilantro
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!
