Who doesn’t love a flavorful wrap? Especially when the temperatures are soaring outside, you can bet the heat witch a delicious and light, veggie filled sandwich.

Well, with my lime cilantro cauliflower “rice” you get all the yumminess of the rice texture and flavor without the carb hangover! Plus you get protein and veggies while enjoying a tasty on the go meal!

Cilantro Cauliflower Rice

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 1 tablespoon water
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 tablespoon vegan butter
• 1-2 cloves garlic, finely minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste

1. Grate cauliflower florets or pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
2. Place grated cauliflower and water in a microwave-safe covered dish.
3. Cook cauliflower in microwave on high until tender, about 7 minutes.
4. Stir lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, and butter into cooked cauliflower until well blended.

White Bean Spread

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 16 oz can white beans, drained and rinsed
• Salt and pepper, to taste

1. Place olive oil, garlic and rosemary in a 10-inch skillet. Heat pan until ingredients start to sizzle. Add beans and their liquid to the pan. As beans cook, mash them with a wooden spoon or potato masher. Cook until mixture is a loose spread consistency (it will thicken as it cools). Transfer to a serving bowl or storage container.
