“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.
