Properly prepared, cauliflower rice is chewy, nutty, and deliciously addictive. For best flavor and texture, make the rice from scratch using a fresh head of cauliflower. Cauliflower happily absorbs seasonings, so be generous - jalapeno, garlic, tomato paste, lime juice, and cilantro are each prominent but balanced in our Mexican cauliflower rice. This dish is both easy and flexible, make in one skillet, and ready in under 30 minutes.

cauliflower (riced)

white onion (finely diced)

garlic (minced)

jalapeno

tsp sea salt

tsp cumin

paprika

tbsp fresh chopped cilantro

lime juice

Rice the cauliflower. Slice the florets from the head of the cauliflower. Fit a food processor with the s-blade. Place half the florets into the bowl of the food processor and pulse until riced, scraping down the sides once halfway through to catch any larger pieces. Scrape out the riced cauliflower and repeat with the remaining florets.

Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil and heat until it shimmers.&nbsp;Add the onion and sautee until soft and translucent, stirring occasionally, 5-6 minutes.

Add the garlic and jalapeno and sautee until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

Add the tomato paste, salt, cumin, and paprika and stir into the vegetables.&nbsp;

Add the cauliflower rice and stir continuously until all ingredients are incorporated. Continue sautéing, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower releases its liquid and is dry and fluffy.

Remove the Mexican cauliflower rice from heat. Stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Serve immediately.&nbsp;

Always looking for ground beef recipes and this one is top of the list. I mix up my own taco seasonings and I have started mixing about a tablespoon of baking soda into my ground beef before cooking to soften it up (velveting)... I don't like the tough texture in my old age 😁

Oh. My. Goodness.  This is delicious!  Made the recipe as written and my husband raved.  He suggested stuffing it in bell peppers next time which I think would also be fabulous!  Thank you so much!

Once again, your recipe is a hit at my house.  My husband and I are pretty strict keto so I make a lot of dishes from online recipes.  Your site is my go to because all your recipes are great.  I don’t like wasting expensive ingredients on bad recipes.  We finished it off with your White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookies 😉

Made it last night.  It was delicious and if I was hoping for left overs... there were none!I Now have instructions from the Gen Z to add this dish to our regular weekly menu.

Excellent recipe! I have been making it for years.

Love this recipe and so does everyone else who’s had it. It’s easy and delicious and who doesn’t love a one skillet meal?

I made this for dinner and it was excellent! I'll definitely be making this again. I love that it can be made in one pan and so quickly!
