    Pork Tenderloin and Spanish Cauliflower Rice

    This one pan, quick recipe is loaded with flavor and uses only 5 ingredients. Added bonus: it's low carb and diabetes diet friendly!

    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.
