Notes
- If you don't like Beyond Meat, you could sub a different vegan sausage, beans or lentils.
- If you are sensitive to heat, you can remove the ribs & seeds from the jalapeño or omit it.
- I bought my cauliflower rice pre-made. You can also add cauliflower florets to a food processor and pulse until “rice” forms.
- There may be some excess liquid in the skillet from the cauliflower & tomatoes at the end of cooking. It will continue to incorporate with the ingredients as it sits, so don’t worry about it.
