Mexican Cauliflower Rice

I've seen many friends post recipes for cauliflower rice and viewed a lot of recipes online before deciding to finally try it for myself.  I put together this Mexican cauliflower rice from several recipes, and it was delicious.  I used a blender, but I think it would work better to rice the cauliflower in a food processor.

Mexican Cauliflower Rice
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

1 large cauliflower
2 teaspoons olive oil or coconut oil
1 small white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 large tomato, chopped

Instructions:

1. Chop the cauliflower into florets.  In small batches, pulse a few florets at a time in a blender or food processor. The pieces should be the size and shape of rice.
2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add the cauliflower to the pan.  Add the spices to the pan and stir to combine.  Cook 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the tomato paste, cilantro, and tomato and stir to combine.  Cook another 2-3 minutes.
5. Adjust the seasonings to taste.  Sprinkle more cilantro for serving.
