16 ounces frozen cauliflower rice 1 tablespoon butter 5 ounces Ro-Tel tomatoes about 1/2 can 1 tablespoon tomato paste 2 teaspoons cumin 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup chicken broth
In a nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the cauliflower rice.
Cook the rice 5 to 6 minutes until it begins to soften. If using fresh cauliflower, this will not take as long.
Add the cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Stir to coat. Cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes to allow the spices to absorb.
Add the RoTel tomatoes and tomato paste and stir to combine.
Add the chicken broth and stir. Reduce heat to medium low and let the rice simmer until all of the broth is absorbed, about 9 to 10 minutes.
Fluff with a fork and serve. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
