Ingredients

Instructions

  • Make the cauliflower into rice by pulsing florets in a food processor ( I work in two batches ) until it resembles rice, about 10-15 pulses. Place it in a bowl and set aside
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add the diced onion and peppers and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring. Add the cumin, garlic powder and cayenne and stir to combine everything
  • Add the cauliflower rice, stir, reduce heat to low and cover the pan. Let cook for 5-8 minutes, checking for desired tenderness
  • Stir in the salsa and fresh cilantro and garnish with avocado slices
