4 cups cauliflower florets
1/2 cup broth or milk of your choice
2 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoon butter or olive oil
1 1/3 cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar or cheddar jack cheese
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies drained - mild, medium, or hot depending on your taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
Chili powder optional
Cumin optional

Place cauliflower florets in a large microwave-safe bowl with enough water to just cover the bottom of the bowl. Cover bowl loosely with waxed paper or a paper towel and steam cauliflower in microwave on high until tender, 4 to 5 minutes; drain.
Using a food processor, blend cauliflower with broth or milk to make a puree. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Melt butter and saute garlic 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Add cauliflower puree to skillet and heat until warm, then stir in cheese until melted. Next add in drained tomatoes and salt. Cook on low ten minutes or until the flavors blend. Sprinkle in some chili pepper and cumin if desired, adjusting to taste.
Garnish with cilantro or jalapeno if you are feeling it!
For the chips - cut Corn tortillas into 6 pieces and lay them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray with olive oil spray and cook for 8-10 minutes at 350. Chips will crisp up as they cool.
