Mexican Cauliflower Rice is loaded with veggies and spiced to perfection! This zesty and flavorful riced cauliflower is a great side dish for taco night and makes the most tasty base for burrito bowls too!
Chop your veggies and prep ingredients. Combine spices in a small bowl and mix. Whisk together Sriracha ranch ingredients in a seperate bowl and set aside.
Making your cauliflower rice from scratch? See post for methods and instructions and cauli rice it up! To save time I used a 12 oz bag of fresh cauliflower rice from the produce section.
Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat with 2 TBSP oil.
Add onion, peppers, tomatoes, and garlic. Sauté for 5-8 minutes until tender.
Add half the spice blend along with the broth and tomato paste. Mix well and cook for one additional minute
Add cauliflower rice and cook until desired texture is reached. Approx. 3 minutes for al dente rice or 5 minutes for more tender rice. Add a squeeze of lime juice (optional but delicious) and any aditional seasoning to taste. I added an extra pinch of salt.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and drizzle with Sriracha Ranch Sauce if desired - SO GOOD!
