We are really making an effort to eat more veggies, and I have to say cauliflower isn't one of our favorites. But I tried this - because we do like Mexican - and WOW. This was my first time using fresh cauliflower and it was fun (it turns out my cat likes the cauliflower greens, go figure). I subbed Smart Balance Light for the butter and used Ritz crackers - other than that, followed the recipe exactly. I still cannot believe that both my husband and I gobbled this up - thanks so much for making eating healthy so yum.

This is a really nice recipe. I did steam the cauliflower, otherwise followed the recipe. Thanks ChefDebs

A little on the spicy side, but suited to our taste buds, the adults in our house loved this dish and the kids ate theirs with milk in hand. Creative and wonderful. I left out the crackers and didn't miss them... I think. Thanks
