Directions
Step 1
Cut the cauliflower into florets, then use a food processor to pulse them into rice-sized pieces. Do this in batches if necessary to avoid mushiness.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until it becomes soft and translucent.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Stir in the cauliflower rice, chipotle powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 6
Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice.
Step 8
Adjust any seasoning to taste if needed and serve immediately as a side dish or use as a base for a bowl.
