Copycat Chipotle Cauliflower Rice sure has saved the day in my house! I'm a big fan of Chipotle and probably make that style of burrito-bowl at least once a week but I'm trying to watch my calories - and rice isn't great for that! I made this cauliflower rice in about 10 minutes and it's super tasty!
Grate cauliflower into rice using small grate on a cheese grater or a food processor

Add cauliflower and bay leaf
2 bay leaves
Stir fry for 5 minutes until rice becomes slightly tender
Remove bay leaves
Mix in cilantro, lime juice and salt
1/4 cup cilantro, 1 lime, 1 tbsp coarse sea salt
Notes
Weight Watchers Points: 2 on Green, Blue or Purple for 1/4 headBreak down your cauliflower 1 of 2 ways:
Box Grater - you can use the small side of your cheese/box grater and grate the head of cauliflower. I peeled off all of the leaves and cut off the stem first - then cut the head in half. After that, just grate away! It's a nice five minute arm workout.
Food Processor - another option is to trim your cauliflower down to large florets and pulse in the food processor until it breaks down to rice-sized pieces
