This Low Carb Mexican Cauliflower Rice is also keto, paleo and vegan, making it suitable for many different people. But, the real star here is the flavor profile. As Richa highlights, the finished dish doesn't taste like cauliflower at all. Instead, it simply tastes amazing, especially once you get the tomatoes, bell peppers and jalapenos in there. 

If all that wasn't enough, the meal also looks stunning in the bowl. It would be a great recipe to impress guests with, even if they're not convinced about cauliflower rice.

Where do I start with this Mushroom Cauliflower 'Rice' Skillet Recipe? Well, for one thing, it's an easy dish to make, taking just 20 minutes from start to finish. The recipe can also be made in a single pan, so there is very little cleanup to worry about. It also takes advantage of some pretty great flavors, particularly the mushrooms.

The choice of ingredients also makes this powerful as a main meal. Mushrooms might not contain as much protein as meat but they still offer some protein and can be satisfying. Finally, the meal works for many diets, including vegan, paleo and even Whole30.

Here's another slightly different one - Mexican Cauliflower Rice Casserole. It's fairly uncommon to find cauliflower rice used in a casserole, but the idea seems to work exceptionally well. It would also be a good choice if you're serving multiple people or if you want leftovers.

Of course, you could chop the cauliflower more finely if you wanted to.
