Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds cauliflower florets cut into florets, riced in a food processor
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fajita seasoning
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 3/4 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
  • fresh lime juice to taste, for squeezing over before serving

Instructions

  • Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they reach a rice-like texture; transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown, about 5–6 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in the fajita seasoning and salt, stir, and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
  • Pour in the salsa and continue cooking, stirring, until the mixture reduces slightly and is no longer very wet, about 3–4 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, stir in the chopped cilantro, squeeze fresh lime juice over top to taste, and serve.

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Large Skillet

Notes

  • Use a food processor in short pulses to avoid turning the cauliflower to mush.
  • Adjust salt between 1/4 and 1/2 teaspoon to taste.
  • Choose your preferred salsa heat level.
