Many grocery stores now carry cauliflower crumbles which work great in this recipe. I used a whole cauliflower head and crumbled using a food processor. Just be sure to watch the particle size as you are processing- it is very easy to overprocess the cauliflower and you end up with a much finer particle size. Also, you may use your favorite salsa in this recipe- most are about 2gm carb per 2 tablespoon serving size.

I assume the raw tenderloin should be cut into slices (1/4"? 1/2"?) slices before browning in Step 1?
Charlotte says
Yes, that is correct. 1/4" will work fine. Thanks for your question.
