Step 1

In a large bowl, grate cauliflower florets using a large cheese grater or lightly pulse florets in a food processor until finely chopped and resembles rice.

Step 2

In a large pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil or butter. Add cauliflower, salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower rice begins to soften. Be careful not to overcook as the cauliflower can get mushy.

Step 4

Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro and lime juice. Taste and season with more salt if necessary.
