Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1 large head cauliflower grated
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 cups tightly packed kale leaves*
  • 1 14.5-oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 tsp kosher salt or to taste
  • 1.5 Tbsp chili powder
  • Cherry or grape tomatoes for serving optional

Instructions

  • Remove all of the green stems from the cauliflower and chop the head in half. Using a box grater (or a food processor), grate the whole head of cauliflower.
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil to medium-high and sauté the onion until fragrant and softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the jalapeño, and garlic and sauté another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the grated cauliflower and cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to turn brown and cook down, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, salt, and chili powder and stir well to combine. Cook until much of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the chopped kale leaves and stir them into the mixture well. Cook until they have turned bright green and have wilted, about 3 minutes.
  • Serve cauliflower rice alongside your favorite entrée.
