Add in riced cauliflower, salt, and cumin. Stir around the veggie mixture to coat.

Add in tomato paste, then ¼ cup broth, and bump up the heat to medium-high. continue to stir around until the tomato paste dissolves in the mixture. If the mixture is too dry, add in more broth by the tablespoon. If the mixture is slightly wet, continue to cook until the liquid dissolves.
