Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable and a great source of many nutrients and antioxidants. Although Cauliflower is not a vegetable you would normally find in a Mexican dish when looking to cut back on carbs and grains it can be the perfect choice as a replacement for rice. The spices in this recipe help to give it that authentic Mexican taste and the Caulirice gives it a healthy flair. Bon Appétit!
