Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice

I’ve always loved rice, so I was skeptical that a vegetable could ever take its place. This Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice blew my mind. This simple recipe is flavor-packed, and you will never miss the carbs. It goes brilliantly well with tacos and also works well as a side to grilled meats.
