Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice
This “rice” cooks quickly in a skillet with fresh lime juice, garlic, and butter, tossed with fresh chopped cilantro. Use a food processor to quickly make cauliflower rice, or use a knife to chop pieces as small as you can. Since this side dish is low in protein it’s great paired with a taco bowl or seared garlicky steak.
