Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- Fresh Cauliflower: If you use fresh riced cauliflower, add a couple tablespoons of water or more olive oil when cooking it. I love using frozen riced cauliflower because it cooks fast and you only need a light spray of olive oil.
- Garlic Clove Substitution: If you don’t have a fresh garlic clove, substitute it with 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Cilantro Substitution: If you don’t like the flavor of cilantro, substitute it with fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley, basil, or a mix of preferred fresh herbs.
