This recipe comes to us from Austin Alvarez of Building Our Rez.
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 10 oz bag frozen cauliflower rice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 – 1 jalapeño pepper
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- Toppings (optional): chopped cilantro, jalapeños, avocado or guacamole, lime wedges
Ingredients:
Cook the cauliflower rice according to package directions
Remove ribs and seeds from the jalapeño. Mince the jalapeño and garlic and chop the onion.
Add oil, jalapeño and onion to a skillet over medium heat and cook until soft (about 5 minutes). Add the garlic, spices and tomato paste. Cook 1-2 minutes or until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the cauliflower rice and vegetable stock to the pan and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium low and cook just until the stock is absorbed, about 5-10 minutes.
Serve alone with your choice of toppings. Or use it in burrito bowls, tacos or as a side to enchiladas.
