  1. I’m new to this, so I’m wondering what is cauliflower rice?

    1. It looks like rice but it’s made out of cauliflower. The recipe explains how to make it. 🙂

  2. I’m a litte confused by the inclusion of non AIP ingredients in an AIP recipe. Do I just not add the tomatoes? Does the recipe come out ok without? Ta!

    1. The recipe states that the tomatoes are optional if you are following the AIP.

  3. Shannah Ferguson says:

    how much ginger do I add to the cauliflower rice

  4. This looks amazing—will be adding it to next weeks meal plans! Do you have an Instagram account? I’d love to follow!

  5. 5 stars
    this was really yummy! adding this to the regular rotation. Mexican food is one of my most missed foods on the AIP. Thanks!
