Ingredients
Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, about 4 cups, chopped into florets
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Enchilada Chicken
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 8 ounce package or can red enchilada sauce
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- black beans, grilled corn, tomatoes, black olives, cilantro for toppings
Instructions
Enchilada Chicken
- Add the chicken, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and red enchilada sauce to a slow cooker. Cover with the lid and set to low, cooking until the chicken is cooked through and tender (about 4-6 hours depending on your slow cooker).
- Once the chicken is done, shred with two forks and toss in the sauce.
Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice
- Cut the cauliflower in half, cut out the core and chop into large florets. Place them in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse the cauliflower about 15 times until it is about the size of rice or couscous. If you don't have a food processor grate the florets on the large holes of a box grater.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and spray it generously with cooking spray or a couple teaspoons of olive oil. Pour the cauliflower into the hot skillet and add in the salt, pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder.
- Let the cauliflower rice sauté in the pan for about 5-7 minutes stirring it occasionally. Squeeze in the lime juice and stir in the chopped cilantro cooking for another minute.
Assembling
- Scoop some of the cauliflower rice into the bottom of a bowl. Top the rice with the shredded chicken, black beans, grilled corn, tomatoes, olives, cilantro, and any other toppings you like.
