Ingredients

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 2 Tbsp heavy cream
• 1 Tbsp butter
• ¼ cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 Tbsp (or more) chopped chipotles in adobo sauce (canned)
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• salt and pepper to taste
• ½ cup salsa verde
• ½ cup sour cream
• ½ cup chopped raw tomatoes
• ¼ cup chopped pickled jalapenos (optional)

Directions

• Clean and trim the cauliflower, breaking it into medium sized pieces. Place in a microwave safe bowl with 2 Tbsp of cream and 1 Tbsp of butter. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 10 minutes. Stir to coat cauliflower with cream/butter mixture. Microwave for another six - eight minutes on high (or until cauliflower is tender). Remove from the microwave and put into a high speed blender or food processor along with the cheese, chipotles, and garlic powder. Puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Spread the puree in an 8 x 8 casserole dish. Spread on the sour cream, then the salsa verde. Sprinkle the chopped tomatoes and jalapenos on top. Cover with the shredded cheese.
• Bake in the oven for 30 - 40 minutes at 375 degrees (F), or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbling. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
