Cauliflower Spanish Rice
Please tell me you have had cauliflower rice… the stuff is sweeping the nation!! I first heard about it and tried it back at the end of 2015 and it saved me during my first Whole30 in 2016. I actually was never a huge lover of rice but having a vegetable that could take on so many different flavors and fill my bowl and tummy with nutrients was a game changer in the way I ate. By now I have posted many variations – Cauliflower Fried Rice, Mexican Cauliflower Rice, and even used it in my Italian Beef & Cauliflower Rice Soup! So of course in honor of Cinco de Mayo coming up this Saturday, I had to make another cauliflower rice dish that will go fabulously with all the tacos – Spanish Cauliflower Rice! Using simple ingredients and flavors this rice is totally transformed and absolutely delicious.
Today I am partnering with Ocean Mist Farms and using their delicious cauliflower! Ocean Mist Farms are makes so much incredible produce – and you know its good because I just saw at the new Cava (my fave fast casual restaurant) that they are using Ocean Mist produce in their line up. VERY exciting. Or I am I the only one that genuinely gets excited about produce? 🙂
So tell me – what is your favorite way to enjoy cauliflower rice? Let me know in the comments below and if you have a fave I haven’t tried yet, I’ll be sure to add it to my never ending list!!

I make a random stir-fry with cauli rice almost nightly. Lately its included zucchini, carrots, tomatoes, mushrooms, chicken, an egg, liquid aminos, tapatio and what ever spices strike my fancy when I open the cabinet.
Yesss i love that!
I used riced cauliflower once with eggs to make a tortilla for fish tacos. They were so yummy! Also used jicama on the taco!! Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Sounds sooo good!!
