If you’ve been following IBIH for awhile then you know how much I love Chorizo. It’s spicy, tangy, and adds amazing flavor to just about anything! This low carb dirty “rice” recipe is no exception. Using cauliflower as rice is nothing new, but I hadn’t tried it before. I liked it, and can definitely see potential for future recipes. Some people (like my husband) have serious issues with the sometimes skunky flavor of cauliflower. Adding the flavorful chorizo to this recipe helps mask the flavor of the cauliflower, and makes it super delicious! So easy to make, this recipe comes together really quickly and is definitely a keeper!

Notes Cajun seasoning is a blend and can be found in the spices section of most grocery stores. To “rice” your cauliflower you can chop it by hand with a knife, or rub it over a box grater, but the easiest way I’ve found is to use this method by Big Red Kitchen. Nutrition Calories: 297
