TIPS:

• Use an airfryer to have the extra crispy cauliflower corns
• You may use the leftover/rotisserie chicken for the quick work.
• You may use the chipotle/jalapenos for the spicy version.
• Longer marination of chicken & longer refrigerating of crema will give you deep flavor.

HOW TO PRESERVE(LEFTOVERS):

NOTE: Never store an assembled rice bowl

CHILLING:

• Save every component individually in the containers(sealed). Refrigerate them all for ~four days. Bring all components to the surrounding temperature while rewarming the rice & chicken. Then assemble them for quick serving.

FREEZING:

• You may save the chicken & rice of cauliflower individually in the container with sealed lids. Freeze them for ~sixty days. Never freeze the crema & topping. Defrost & reheat the chicken, prepare the lime crema & toppings fresh. Assemble them all to serve.

FAQs:

What can I use in place of the dairy cheese?

• You may use extra cream, paste of avocado, or almond-based crumbled cheese in place of dairy cheese. You can also skip the cheese if you want.

Will the frozen cauliflower rice work?

• Absolutely! You need to defrost & drain extra water properly, then your cauliflowers are good to go.
