Ingredients
  

  • 24 oz cauliflower rice I used two bags of Trader Joe's pre-riced cauli
  • 8 oz can of tomatoes BPA-free, like this brand
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil I get it here
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1/2 tbsp cumin
  • 1/2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • optional: diced fresh jalapeno I added a whole one because I LOVE spice!
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat the avocado oil over medium to medium high heat.
  • Add the onion and cook until soft.
  • Add the cauliflower, letting it cook for about five minutes.
  • Add the can of tomatoes and spices.
  • Let it cook for another ten minutes or so, until the cauliflower has softened and absorbed the tomato juice.
  • Add the cilantro and jalapeno at the end (if using).

Notes

Not a fan of cauliflower? Use cooked white rice instead!
