This low carb side dish is a diabetes friendly take on the famous Cilantro Lime Rice from Chipotle. A quick search online will bring up numerous copycat recipes because it’s such a popular dish from the Mexican restaurant chain. I myself adore the cilantro lime combination and it works just as well with cauliflower as it does with real rice.

I don’t like having to click more than one time to get to a recipe. However, for Carolyn’s recipes, it is usually worth clicking two or three times. Carolyn, your recipes are so good. I want to make this and I am wondering if you left out the cumin. It is so essential to good Mexican food. Anyway, I am going to add a little bit and see how it tastes. Girl, finding your blogs has been a God-send, really. Without your recipes and now your books, I would be floundering in the keto world! Thank you!
If I used frozen riced cauliflower for a short cut, about how many cups of cauliflower do I need?
