Mexican Cauliflower Rice:

Growing up Mexican rice was a staple in my everyday eats. But as you all know, I am always looking for ways to recreate my favorites into healthier options. And so enter in my Whole30, grain-free, dairy-free, Paleo Mexican cauliflower rice.

Ingredients you will need:

1. Cauliflower rice ( I like using frozen)
2. Jalapeno
3. Tomato paste
4. Cilantro
5. Onions
6. Garlic ghee (substitute avocado oil and 1-2 tsp minced garlic)
7. Salt + pepper
8. Paprika
9. Water, vegetable broth, or chicken bone broth

How to prepare cauliflower rice:

First, I add my ghee and warm in a large pan. Then I add my diced onions, jalapeño, salt + pepper, and sautéed for 5 minutes. Next, I add my frozen cauliflower rice, seasoning, tomato paste, cilantro, and bone broth. I cook for about 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, top with more cilantro, and enjoy.

Meal prep ahead of time:

Not only is this meal super easy to prepare but it makes for a great option for meal prepping ahead of time. That way during the week, I just have to reheat, and enjoy with other items I meal prepped for the week. I store mine in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
