I grew up in Southern California, so that is pretty much a given.
As a kid, I was surrounded by little taco shops, and Mexican restaurants to choose from but, for a few months, my daughter and I lived in a smaller inland Northern San Diego town which didn't have as much to choose from as I was used to.
That is when I found Chipotle.
I fell in love with their cilantro lime rice.
After going low carb a couple of years ago I thought I had to forgo my love of rice, then was happy to discover cauliflower rice, and SUPER happy that the Mr enjoyed it.
The first time I made it was in my Shrimp and Bacon Cauliflower Fried Rice and he said he would have never known it wasn't regular rice if I hadn't told him ?
