Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag frozen riced cauliflower (10 oz bag- I used Bird’s Eye)
  • 1 Poblano chile
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ⅛ cup plus 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 4 ounces grated Cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
  2. Steam bag of cauliflower according to directions if you like it a bit softer. For more al dente, pour frozen or steamed cauliflower directly into casserole dish.
  3. Char poblano over a flame or in a broiler. Put in a paper bag until cool enough to handle.
  4. Gently scrape away blistered outer skin and discard the top. Slice open the pepper, discard seeds and dice. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, 1/8 cup chopped onion, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt to taste.
  5. In a skillet over medium heat, heat avocado oil until shimmering. Add 1/4 cup chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until translucent, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add diced poblano and sauté another 1 minute, then remove from heat and transfer to a casserole dish. Combine with sour cream mixture and grated cheese. Cover the casserole and bake 30 minutes or until the cheese is brown and bubbly.
