We love Spanish rice at our house, and today, I’m sharing a new way to prepare it. Our Spanish cauliflower rice is the perfect side to any Mexican dish.
Made with riced cauliflower, it’s healthier, gluten-free, and has a fresh, flavorful taste I think you’ll love.

Spanish Cauliflower Rice Recipe Tips
- Short on time? Use already-riced cauliflower. Most grocery stores carry it in the produce or freezer section. Note that this may change the cooking time a bit, and frozen cauliflower may release more water.
- This Spanish cauliflower rice side dish becomes a complete meal with the addition of a protein–think chicken breast, black beans, or whatever you like best.
- If you like your “rice” a little spicier, adjust the spices to your taste.
