HOMEMADE PICO DE GALLO
- 1 cup finely diced tomato
- ¾-1 cup finely diced white onion
- 1 Jalapeno pepper (seeds and stem removed)
- ¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro plus extra to taste
- fresh squeezed lime juice to taste (approx 1/4 a lime)
- ¼-½ tsp salt to taste
Instructions
- Making your cauliflower rice from scratch? See post for methods and instructions and cauli rice it up! To save time I used fresh bagged cauliflower rice from the produce section.
- To make the fresh Pico de Gallo, finely chop onion, tomato, and jalapeno. Combine with fresh lime juice and cilantro then season with salt. I always make extra to enjoy the next day with crispy tortilla chips - so good!
- In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Add the onion and frozen corn. Sauté until onion is tender and corn is cooked through, approx. 4-6 min. Add garlic and sauté an additional 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Season with cumin and chili powder and mix well.
- Add remaining teaspoon of oil along with cauliflower rice and cook until desired texture is reached. Approx. 3 minutes for al dente rice or 5 minutes for more tender rice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Drain and rinse back beans. Add to the skillet along with 1-2 TBSP of salsa and mix well. Taste and add any additional salt and pepper desired.
- Remove from the skillet and portion the “rice” into 4 bowls for a lunch sized portion or two bigger bowls for a larger dinner-sized serving.
- Top bowls with fresh cilantro, Pico de Gallo salsa, grate cheese, sour cream, and serve with lime wedges for squeezing a little optional citrus goodness on each bowl. Feel free to add any additional toppings you'd like from the list above and dig in!
Notes
