Can I make cilantro lime cauliflower rice with frozen cauliflower rice?

Yes, instead of pulsing the cauliflower florets in a food processor, you can use pre-riced frozen cauliflower rice. I like the steamable frozen cauliflower rice from Green Giant. Note that the cauliflower rice in the resulting dish will be a little mushier.

How should cilantro lime cauliflower rice be stored?

Store the cauliflower rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

How do I reheat cilantro lime cauliflower rice?

Reheat leftover cilantro lime cauliflower rice in a large skillet on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave in 30-second increments until warmed throughout.
