To make the Fresh & Healthy Avocado Cauliflower Rice, you will need the following ingredients:
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and heat until shimmering. Once hot, add 1 cup diced onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add 6 cups cauliflower rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6-7 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the avocado mash. To a large bowl, add 2 diced avocados, 1 diced jalapeno, 2 ½ tablespoons lime juice, and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and mash with a fork until combined, but still retaining some texture.
Add the avocado mash to the cauliflower rice and stir well to combine. Stir in ½ cup roughly chopped cilantro.
To serve, garnish with more cilantro and jalapeño, if you wish, and enjoy!
