For a smoky flavor, try using smoked paprika instead of chili powder. If you don't have a microwave, you can steam the cauliflower in a steamer basket over boiling water. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra nutrients and flavor. Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for added freshness.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Steam the Cauliflower: Place the frozen riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of water, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on high for approximately 5 minutes, or until tender. Allow to cool slightly until safe to handle. (Time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Remove Excess Moisture: Lay a clean, thin dish towel on a flat surface. Place half of the steamed cauliflower in the center. Gather the four corners of the towel to enclose the cauliflower completely. Twist the towel tightly and squeeze firmly to extract as much water as possible. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture.
03
Step
8 mins
Sauté and Season: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the squeezed cauliflower, diced onion, granulated garlic, chili powder, cumin, and white pepper. Sauté, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower begins to brown and any remaining liquid has evaporated, approximately 5 minutes. (Time: 5 minutes)
04
StepIncorporate Salsa and Simmer: Add the chunky salsa to the skillet. Cook and stir, allowing the salsa to reduce and meld with the cauliflower mixture, about 8 to 10 minutes. The mixture should thicken slightly. (Time: 8-10 minutes)
