4 servings
- 1 medium head cauliflower (about 2 lbs), cut into florets
- 2 tbsp avocado oil, divided
- 12 oz fresh mexican-style chorizo, casings removed
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
Ingredient noteRed and yellow bell peppers contain some excess fructose that a low fructose diet limits in larger servings; the small amount used here (about a third of a cup or less per serving) keeps the fructose load low, so it is likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid red bell pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 limes, juiced (about 3 tbsp), plus wedges for serving
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
For serving
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Working in batches, pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until broken down into rice-sized pieces, about 8–10 pulses per batch. Alternatively, grate the florets on the large holes of a box grater. You should have about 5–6 cups of riced cauliflower. Set aside.

Heat 1 tbsp of the avocado oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through with no pink remaining, about 6–8 minutes. Transfer the chorizo to a plate, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
