Notes
If you prefer not to use the canned tomato blend, you can sub with a fresh mix of about 1 cup diced tomatoes, ½ small onion (or equivalent dried flakes), 2 green chili peppers chopped, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Add additional salt if needed.
Add a splash of hot sauce to give it an extra spicy kick.
Use a food processor to chop the florets into rice. This will make clean-up a lot easier too.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
