I love the addition of cauliflower rice to just about any meal, and thanks to frozen cauliflower rice, you can make so many delicious veggie side dishes and even dinners out of this popular white veggie. Because it’s practically flavorless, you can treat it just like regular rice and season it and cook it however you’d like.
This cilantro lime cauliflower rice couldn’t be any easier to make with just a few ingredients including frozen cauliflower rice, fresh cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. It pairs really well with any Mexican inspired meal including burritos bowls, tacos, enchiladas or even a taco salad. It’s so yummy, your entire family won’t even realize it’s not actually rice; just a healthy vegetable in disguise.
