Keto Mexican Cauliflower Rice

The entire family will enjoy this simple and fast Keto Mexican Cauliflower Rice, which only requires 5 ingredients! Naturally paleo, low-carb, and whole30-friendly too!

I am here for Mexican food pretty much every night of the week, whether it’s Mexican Monday, Taco Tuesday, or Fiesta Friday.

In Canada, we didn’t eat a lot of Mexican food, but when I arrived to the United States, I pretty much fell in love with the cuisine after trying a chipotle burrito bowl with its cilantro lime cauliflower rice bliss. After that, it was exclusively Mexican food for me.

Mexican shakshuka, tuna-stuffed zucchini boats, and even Mexican lasagna with zucchini have all been served to us.

Making Cauliflower Rice

Are you a fan of Asian and Indian cuisine’s rich, delicious sauces and stir-fries? Are you still hungry? I am, after all. If this has your attention, you should be aware of one of my favorite varieties of rice—cauliflower rice!

Yes, you read that correctly. I can’t wait for you to give my Keto Mexican Cauliflower Rice a try.

It is the ideal low-carb alternative to conventional rice, pasta, or potatoes because it is adaptable, simple to prepare, and moderate in flavor. Simply follow the directions I provided in my post on how to rice cauliflower to create it. This is how to do it:

Wash

Your cauliflower head should be thoroughly cleaned and dried with a paper towel.

Cut Cauliflower should be chopped into big pieces. If using a cheese grater, shred the cauliflower chunks into rice-like shapes. Eliminate moisture Your uncooked cauliflower rice should be transferred to a large piece of paper towel or a clean kitchen towel, and any extra moisture should be carefully pressed and patted out.

As a result, your Keto Mexican Rice meal won’t get too mushy.

  • To taste, 1/4–1/2 tsp of salt (I like 1/2 tsp, but Mr. FFF thinks that’s too much).
  • diced 1/2 cup of cilantro
  • citrus juice, fresh

INSTRUCTIONS
