Ingredients

  • 6 cups cauliflower rice
  • 1 tablespoon cooking fat (avocado oil, coconut oil, ghee...)
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion (120 grams)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large avocados, diced (300 grams)
  • 1 jalapeño, diced
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 cup packed cilantro, roughly chopped
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add oil and let it get hot. Once hot, add diced onions and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Add the cauliflower rice and let cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  • While the rice cooks, make the avocado mash. Add avocados, diced jalapeno, lime juice, and salt and pepper to a large bowl and mash with a fork until combined, but a little texture remains.
  • Once caulilfower rice is cooked to your preference, remove from heat. Add avocado mixture to cauliflower rice and mix well to cimbine. Stir in cilantro. Top more cilantro and jalapeño if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

*this is about one large head cauliflower, florets removed and riced. You can make your own cauliflower rice per the directions in the post, or just buy store bought. I prefer fresh over frozen cauliflower rice.
