Add the riced cauliflower, Seasoned Salt, and can of Rotel (juice and all) to the skillet and continue cooking over medium, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is cooked through and most of the liquid has evaporated, about ten minutes or so.
Remove from the heat and garnish with queso fresco and cilantro.

Notes

I use frozen caulirice a lot out of convenience, but feel free to use fresh, if desired.
