“Elotes” with Cauliflower Rice

Have you ever had “Elotes”? It was one of my favorite things to get on the street by the beach when I lived in Chicago. Once I started eating this way, I stopped eating corn, but found that when I created this recipe, it tasted almost exactly like the elotes I was so fond of. My “Elotes” with Cauliflower Rice is a simple side or snack you can make just to your liking, as if you were ordering one off the food cart. I always add cayenne pepper to mine. 

Ingredients

• ½ to 1 cup cauliflower rice

• 1 tablespoon butter

• ½ tablespoon mayonnaise

• Small handful of shredded cheese to taste

4. Add another teaspoon of garlic powder, oregano, paprika, and pink salt. Mix everything well.
