Ingredients

• 1 medium cauliflower head
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 small garlic cloves
• 0.5 small onion

Directions

Step 1

Start by cutting the cauliflower into medium-sized florets. Remove as much stem as possible since it can be hard and dense.

Step 2

Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble the size and texture of rice grains. Be careful not to over-process them.

Step 3

Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce with the onion and garlic, making sure everything is well mixed.

Step 6

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cauliflower becomes tender.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the lime juice and chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper to taste and mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors.

Step 9

Serve hot as a savory low-carb side dish or base for your favorite toppings.
