If plain old cauliflower rice seems a bit bland to you, you'll want to give Trader Joe's new Spicy Mexican-Style Riced Cauliflower a try instead.
With the low-carb craze still going strong, Trader Joe's has introduced a new Spicy Mexican-Style Riced Cauliflower product. The new frozen dish starts with the brand's signature cauliflower rice and seasons it with tomato concentrate and a flavorful blend of cumin, cayenne, and lime. For some extra nutrition, Trader Joe's has thrown in diced tomatoes, red, yellow, and green bell peppers, and pickled jalapeños for a bit of crunch. The result is a tasty, Mexican-inspired blend that "makes a scrumptious vegan side dish or a bomb-diggity base for a burrito bowl."
