Chorizo Fried Cauliflower Rice
I made a recipe for Chorizo Fried Cauliflower Rice to put a Mexican spin on things.
I made some Spicy Chorizo Tacos not too long ago that were so yummy!
It made me remember just how much I love chorizo sausage.
If I can get my family to eat cauliflower rice, you KNOW it’s delicious!
They were skeptical at first, but now they are fans.
Makes things easier for me so I don’t have to make two different meals.
How to make Chorizo Fried Cauliflower Rice
This Chorizo Fried Cauliflower Rice begins in a large skillet over medium heat.
First step is to brown a pound of ground chorizo sausage.
Drain it on a plate with paper towels once it’s cooked, leaving just a bit of fat in the skillet.
The next step is adding diced onion and jalapeno to the same skillet and cook for about 5 minutes.
Then a bag of frozen cauliflower rice and some garlic gets added to the skillet along with that cooked chorizo from earlier
Cook this for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add a gorgeous pop of color with a can of Rotel tomatoes, corn, and fresh cilantro.
This cooks for about 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
At the very end taste for seasoning and add kosher salt and pepper if needed.
Stir in a cup of shredded cheese and once that’s melted to perfection it’s ready to serve.
We topped ours with fresh lime juice, sour cream, and (because we are spice fanatics around here) some hot sauce!
We had some leftover Chorizo Fried Cauliflower Rice, and let me tell you…it was even better the next day at lunch!
