Instructions

  • Add cauliflower florets to a food processor or chopper and pulse till the cauliflower resembles small bits like rice. Be careful not to turn it mushy.
  • Heat oil in a large pan and add onions, garlic, and jalapenos. Stir fry for a few minutes till the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes If you don’t like the food too spicy, de-seed the jalapeno.
  • Add the riced cauliflower and cook 3 to 4 minutes until tender.
  • Now add in cumin, paprika, black pepper, salt, tomato sauce. Continue to stir around until the tomato sauce dissolves in the mixture. If the mixture is too dry, add in water by the tablespoon. If the mixture is slightly wet, continue to cook until the liquid dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
  • Serve hot with garnished cilantro, lime juice, and added salt to taste.
