If you’re using whole cauliflower, cut off leaves and stem, chop the florets, then pulse in a food processor till it looks like rice.
06 -
Heat the rest 15 ml olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cauliflower rice with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir it and cook 5 to 7 minutes till tender and lightly browned.

# Helpful Hints:

Feel free to add more or less enchilada sauce how you like it. For some heat, add cayenne to the spice mix or pick a spicy enchilada sauce. You can switch cauliflower rice for regular rice if that’s what you prefer.
