cilantro-lime cauliflower rice


This recipe is going to blow your mind. It is the best alternative to Chipotle's cilantro-lime rice you will ever eat. The lime juice creates such a unique taste and compliments the earthy cauliflower taste. I promise you will love it.

Step One
Gather your ingredients. You will need:

1 1/2 cups shredded cauliflower
1 teaspoon olive oil (1 healthy fat)
1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/8 cup cilantro, chopped
salt (optional)


Step Two
Shred cauliflower using the shredding blade on a food processor, or by hand with a flat or box grater.


Step Three
Pulse until the shape resembles that of rice.


Step Four
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.


Step Five
Add cauliflower and season with salt if you like.


Step Six
Then saute until soft and just starting to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes.


Step Seven
Next, turn off the heat and add the cilantro...


Step Eight
...and the lime juice


Step Nine
Then transfer to a bowl and enjoy!


Optional
To make this a complete lean and green meal, top the "rice" with some chicken (or any other protein) and shredded cheese. Delish!
