Gluten Free Cauliflower Rice Fiesta for Cinco de Mayo

Hola! Hola!  In honor of Cinco De Mayo I'm making my gluten free Riced Cauliflower Fiesta as a side dish for tomorrow tonight's dinner! The Mexican flavors are amazing and it is so easy to make!

If you haven't tasted riced cauliflower, you are really missing out.

Riced Cauliflower is made in the food processor by simply filling the container with cauliflower flowerettes, buzzing the on off twice and thus creating cauliflower rice! Once you have your "rice" you can use it to make a variety of tasty low carb dishes. How to make your own cauliflower rice


Riced Cauliflower is now available frozen 
However Trader Joe's started to sell organic riced cauliflower in the frozen vegetable department!
How easy is that? Now I simply buy the cauliflower rice already made and then make my recipes!
It is also available frozen in Whole Foods and some supermarkets.

That's how I made this recipe with frozen riced cauliflower! Fast- Easy- Tasty.

This recipe makes a beautiful presentation and tastes like a soothing- kind of like comfort food without the calories! Naturally gluten free and vegan, this ten minute recipe is a perfect side for your Cinco De Mayo celebration!

I adore riced cauliflower and since Trader Joe's started selling it frozen in bags, I've been experimenting with more and more ways to use it!

Make this recipe in 10 minutes

This festive Mexican dish takes about ten minutes to make and provides lots of antioxidants and vitamins like only a cruciferous vegetable can.   On Weight Watchers this fabulous side has ZERO smart points.

So dig in! It's Fast, Easy, Healthy, low calorie and low carb! This naturally gluten free and vegan recipe a winner!
