This cilantro lime cauliflower rice was one of the first things I learned how to cook when I started eating healthier. My husband is a Chipotle fanatic, so I had to re-create the famous rice option. He loves this recipe and I know you will too!

I used to make my own cauliflower rice in the food processor, but since I discovered frozen cauliflower rice, that is all I use. I cook it straight in the pan from frozen. If you cook it the right way, the moisture evaporates and you get perfect fluffy rice! I kept the flavors super simple and classic with green onion, cilantro and lime. It is delicious and perfect for a side dish or to layer in a burrito bowl.
Here are some additional flavor options:
- Jalapeno
- Garlic
- Diced Bell Peppers
- Red Onion
