Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, chopped
- 2 Cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chipotle powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 Lime, juiced
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets, then use a food processor to pulse them into rice-sized pieces. Do this in batches if necessary to avoid mushiness.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until it becomes soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the cauliflower rice, chipotle powder, salt, and pepper.
Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice.
Adjust any seasoning to taste if needed and serve immediately as a side dish or use as a base for a bowl.
