Hope you all had a great cindo de Mayo! We had a good, relaxing day. We made some pretty amazing fajitas and this 'rice.' I've made cauliflower rice before so figured why not a spanish version? It always surprises me how versatile cauliflower is and how good it is at imitating other things. This was no exception. The texture is almost spot on and with all the spices, most of the cauliflower flavor is masked. Oh, and not to mention that it's healthier and comes together in minutes.
