This Mexican Cauliflower Fried Rice is packed with veggies, protein, and lots of flavor and spice! It’s topped with an easy guacamole and chipotle ranch sauce for a tasty, filling meal that’s Paleo, Whole30 compliant and keto friendly.
This is one of those simple, yet really delicious and satisfying recipes that makes me LOVE paleo and Whole30 cooking!
True story – I wasn’t always on board with cauliflower rice. I thought it was far too much of an effort to “rice” the cauliflower and I didn’t yet realize how tasty cauliflower fried rice could be!
My vision of cauli rice was a whole lot of mess with resulting boring mushy “rice” that tasted nothing like actual rice.
Much like I had to accept that zucchini noodles weren’t actual noodles, I needed to accept that cauli rice wasn’t rice, but could be seriously awesome anyway.
I also needed to accept that I was going to have to compromise with myself and be lazy – I bought the pre-“riced” cauliflower at the grocery store and didn’t look back. For all of you who ain’t got no time for the mess – get the pre-riced cauli! And, for those of you who like ricing your own – more power to you!
Anyway, cauli rice can definitely be awesome in its own right – it’s amazing sauteed/fried, and picks up all the flavors it mixes with like a dream. When I first decided to make this chicken and bacon fried rice, I was completely sold – cauliflower rice can actually be pretty darn awesome.
I knew I was due for another cauliflower fried rice recipe but I wanted to make the flavors really different than the last.
I decided to go the Mexican-inspired route since I’ve been on a big guacamole kick lately – it’s SO perfect to top off this cauli rice!
For the ground meat, I actually used a mixture of ground beef and ground chicken, just based on what was in my fridge. You can use any ground meat at all, but I highly recommend one that’s a little less lean since it adds better flavor in my opinion. That said, simply adding a bit more cooking fat if you use a leaner meat will work out just fine.
The add-ins are super simple – onions, peppers, garlic, spices, diced green chilis and jalapeno. The toppings make it over-the-top tasty!
I went with my chipotle ranch – which is probably my most-made mayo-based dip/sauce. It goes with nearly everything and it’s so perfect here!
The guac also takes it to the next level – you get healthy fats, flavor, texture – the whole deal. Also, if you’re planning to make this ahead of time, you can prepare everything in advance with the exception of the guacamole and be totally good to go with a toss in the skillet to reheat the fried rice.
I hope you’re ready for an easy and oh-so-yummy, filling and heathy meal – let’s get cooking!

We made this according to the recipe for supper. It was very good. I’m not a mayonnaise fan, but the chipolte mayo and guac made the dish.

This was so good! Really great flavors and super easy to make!
I’ m not sure if this an error in the recipe or not, but you call for 3 tbsp of cooking fat but I only saw 1 tbsp used in the recipe.
Hi! I might have forgotten to mention when to add the additional Tbsps. Regardless happy you enjoyed it!
When do you add the additional 2 Tablespoons? (Haven’t made it yet!)
What is the recipe for the chipotle ranch?
I made this last night… delish. It will be in my go to rotation. It’s a good one.
Thrilled you enjoyed it!

It looks very tasty for Paleo. I think I’m going to try and see if it tastes like it looks.

great recipe! I made it to take for lunch for a few days and it reheated well. Do not even miss rice!
That’s amazing! So happy you’re enjoying it 🙂
What is your recipe for chipotle ranch/mayo sauce?
This was fantastic! I used ground turkey and layered it with lettuce, black beans, this cauliflower rice, guacamole. Will definitely make this again. Would be good in a wrap as well
HI! So delish! But wondering how big the serving size actually is? It just says 6 servings. Trying to add it to my database and already ate some so I can’t measure out. Thanks!!
I typically don’t measure the servings in cups but rather estimate a mainly realistic number of servings for the batch.
This recipe is easy and quick, especially if you use frozen cauliflower. Highly recommend for meal prep as it’s delicious the next day!
This is easy to make and very tasty!!! I have made this numerous times and always turns out great!!!

2nd time making this and love it just as much! I did leave out the onions this time since my husband is not a fan but it is sooo good! I use a little more chipotle mayo than recommended but that stuff is just sooo good!
How much is a serving?
Wow looks so delicious. With this recipe I’m gonna make this dish. Hope my family will love it.
This recipe is fantastic! I have made it numerous times and have even served it to guests and it is always well received. It tastes every bit as good, the next day, as a leftover too.

This is really good but had to spice it up a bit. I didn’t remove the seeds from the jalapeno and added scheracha. I like a lot of spice but if you like mild spice make as is. Will definitely make again.

nice post thanks for sharing
I made this today and it was absolutely delicious and the kids even like it! Thanks!
Love hearing that!
I made this for dinner tonight (Day 13 of September Whole30) and it’s absolutely delicious. Will make over and over, regardless of whether I’m doing Whole30 or not! If I could give it 6 stars, I would!
I make this just about weekly and haven’t gotten tired of it yet. I bring it with me on the go and eat it cold and it’s such a great protein and veggie packed lunch. Sometimes I don’t have green chiles, sometimes I don’t have an onion…it’s always so good though. I use ground chicken (used ground turkey once too), double up all spices except the cumin and chili powder, and add cayenne and red pepper flakes. When I eat it I put crispy jalapeños on top, not paleo but so good! I try to eat 80/20 so that’s my 20 ? Thank you for such an awesome recipe, Michele!!
Love a hearty and filling meal and this rice is PERFECT! You know the way to my bloggin heart ?
I REALLY love this recipe! It has everything you need for the Mexican flavor profile, without the dairy or carbs found in most dishes. My only suggestion is the taco seasoning itself is fairly bland, I found a great whole30 blend that kicks it up a notch https://therealfoodrds.com/homemade-taco-seasoning-whole30
Otherwise, the chipotle mayo sauce is delicious, the smokey paprika adds such a wonderful depth. Great job on this recipe, I love your website 🙂
Loooks really tasty, it’s definitely worst to try to cook this amazing looking Mexican food )

Great flavor and satisfying
Just made this and it’s amazing!!! As usual. Best Paleo recipes on the web
This rice is looking PERFECT! I am gonna try it tonight only 😀
The pate looks delicious and very nutritious, I really want to enjoy it. Thank you for sharing.
This is very good. I made the chipotle sauce with store-bought paleo mayo- it was fine, but probably would be better using the homemade recipe fie Mayo. The guacamole was good but I felt a need to flavor it more with a little more chopped onion, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Great recipe- even the kids liked it! ?
rice are so yummy . i like it
