Equipment
- 1 Nonstick pan I love my Always Pan from Our Place
Ingredients
- 2 10 oz Packages Frozen Cauliflower Rice or make your own!
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 Large Cloves Garlic mashed - can also use fresh minced garlic, if preferred
- 1/2 Cup Fresh Cilantro finely chopped
- 1 Lime juiced
- 1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
Instructions
- Start by heating your oil in a nonstick pan, on the stove, over medium heat.
- Add in your garlic and sauté until brown, but not burnt. This should take approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Next, add in your frozen cauliflower rice and sauté with the garlic until it's warmed all the way through. This should take approximately 4 minutes. Just be sure not to overcook the rice, as it will become mushy!
- Once the rice is done cooking, take it off of the heat and stir in your cilantro, lime, and salt.
- Taste and adjust your seasonings as needed.
- This recipe makes about 4 servings, so feel free to keep the extra in the fridge, for up to one week! Enjoy!
