Instructions
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower. Cut it into large florets.

Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the garlic and chipotle.
Stir in the adobo sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender.
