Notes
- I prefer to use chucky salsa in this recipe to add more texture.
- I buy pre-riced cauliflower, but you can make your own cauliflower rice by putting a head of fresh cauliflower into a food processor and blending until desired consistency. You can also use frozen cauliflower rice.
- Optional: serve with cheese, chopped cilantro, and/or a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
