low carb Mexican Rice

I have been craving all dishes that are Mexican inspired lately. I just cant get enough taco salads and burrito bowls and fajita chicken... Mexican cheese and sour cream and pickled jalapeños.... like I seriously am addicted!!! To go along side or underneath all of these awesome dishes I needed a bomb Mexican rice. This is not authentic by any means BUT it is delicious and it's super easy and totally customizable so I hope that makes up for the fact that it is not at all authentic.
Use your favorite salsa and go to town!!! This versatile dish is even perfect with rice, just sub some cooked rice for the cauliflower. You can please everyone with this dish! It almost sounds too easy... but its seriously a game changer for all you Mexican cravings!

low carb Mexican Rice- Serves 4 (1 cup per serving)
4 cups of riced cauliflower
1 green onion (aka scallion), sliced thin with b green and white separated
1/2 cup low carb salsa, I use Frontera Brand
1 Tbsp of butter, divided
1 Tbsp taco seasoning, get my recipe HERE)

Melt 1/2 Tbsp of butter over medium high heat.
Add in the white part of the scallion and stir.
After one minute add in the riced cauliflower and stir.
Add in another 1/2 Tbsp of butter and stir
Then add in the taco seasoning. Stir well to incorporate.
Cook for 3 minutes.
Add in the salsa, stir and cook for another 3 minutes. This helps cook out the raw cauliflower taste.
Top with the green top of the scallion and serve!
Enjoy!
