Why I Love This Recipe

This Easy Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice is a delicious alternative to the popular Mexican side dish.

I love cooking with cauliflower because it is such a versatile ingredient.

Plus, cauliflower means lower carb … woop, woop!

Our favorite low-carb, eggless pizza crust is made with cauliflower rice…and it’s amazing. We also like the cauliflower roasted in the oven and au-gratin with béchamel sauce.

YUM.

This time, I transformed 2 humble bags of frozen cauliflower rice into an incredible Easy Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice.

It’s healthy, easy to make, and delicious!

Important

Don’t forget to check out the step-by-step photos above in the post—they’ll guide you through the process and make everything super clear!

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté about 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high.
  • Add the cauliflower “rice” to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is slightly crispy on the outside but tender on the inside, about 5 minutes. NOTE: If you want the rice soft and tender you can cover the pan. I prefer it on the crunchy side so I cook it uncovered.
  • Season with salt and cumin, if using. Mix to combine.
  • Turn the heat off and add chopped cilantro and lime juice. Mix until well combined.
  • Serve hot.
Oriana’s Notes
 
Extra Tips:
You can use store-bought frozen cauliflower rice, or make your own. I used 2 bags (12 oz each)  of  Green Giant® Riced Veggies Cauliflower.
Add a ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper or a finely chopped jalapeño if you like to add some heat.
