This easy Whole 30 Mexican Cauliflower Rice is a perfect side dish to add to your Taco Tuesday or any excuse you may have to enjoy some delicious tacos/fajitas/burrito bowl. For those of you who follow me on Instagram, I’m sure you know that if there is one type of food I could literally eat all day every day, it is Mexican! I honestly do not think it is possible for me to get sick of it!
I was inspired to make this dish as I used to make a delicious Mexican rice dish before I started my whole food journey. It didn’t take me long to re-imagine this with the simple switch to cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice. If you do well with rice though, feel free to use that instead. You really can’t go wrong with this one!
Ingredients:
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp cajun spice
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp pink Himalayan salt
Half head of cauliflower riced (about 4 cups)
4 – 5 Tbsp of tomato paste
Directions:
- Put oil in the pan on medium heat
- Toss your onion in the pan and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes
- Place cauliflower and spices in the plan and mix it all together. Let cook for 5-10 minutes, depending on preferred texture of cauliflower rice
- Add tomato paste and stir together. If the paste is too thick add a Tbsp of water at a time as it soaks into the cauliflower
- Enjoy!
