Somebody mentions that they didn’t have coconut flour so they substituted something else instead. Am I losing the plot, but I’m not seeing coconut flour in the recipe?

I think it was an auto correct for cauliflower.

Doesn't taste like anything "tamale" at all. 3-stars for misleading recipe title. It tastes fine, but it's really just a basic flavor meat and "potatoes" dish than anything tamale or remotely Mexican & flavorful.

Double the spices and add some hot chili perhaps

Really taste good but did add a touch of heavy cream to smooth the cauliflower more. Will fix again.

This was great! I used Rotel tomatoes with green chilis and frozen riced cauliflower (water squeezed out in a tea towel after cooking it in microwave). Will try doubling it in a 9x13 pan for company.

And I used my blender instead of food processor.

What size oven proof dish 2 qt? Or is that to big? Thank you for any help.
Sparkle glitterchunk 5 years ago
If I were to cook this in individual Pyrex dishes about what size and how many Pyrex dishes would I need. I plan on freezing portions until needed! Thank you.

What a great idea! Apparently a single serving is 4 oz so I'd just weigh it out into 4 dishes or (my preference) pint Mason jars. If no scale, just divide as evenly as possible into the 4 portions.
