Restaurant Style Mexican Cauliflower Rice

In my house, we make some type of Mexican food nearly every week. In general, we try to eat healthy and usually go for lots of veggies, low carbs and healthy fats. While nothing beats real, restaurant style Mexican rice, when we are on a healthy kick, I usually just skip cooking up rice and beans. But what about those days when you really just gotta have that rice?
