Ingredients

For the Chicken Fajitas:

• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into strips

• 2 bell peppers (any colors), sliced

• 1 medium onion, sliced

• 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

• 1 tbsp chili powder

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp paprika (smoked if possible)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Juice of 1 lime

For the Cauliflower Rice:

• 4 cups riced cauliflower (fresh or frozen)

• 2 tbsp butter or olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• Juice of 1 lime

• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

• Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings:

• 2 avocados, sliced or mashed into guacamole

• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

• Sour cream or Greek yogurt (full-fat)

• Fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and sliced jalapeños for garnish

Instructions

1. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken strips with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and half the lime juice. Let it marinate for 5-10 minutes while you prep the veggies.

2. Cook the Fajitas: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly charred. Return the chicken to the skillet, squeeze in the remaining lime juice, and stir to combine.

3. Prepare the Cauliflower Rice: In a separate large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the riced cauliflower, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but not mushy. Stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro off the heat.

4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cilantro-lime cauliflower rice among 4 bowls. Top with the chicken fajita mixture, sliced avocado, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and any extra garnishes.

5. Serve: Enjoy hot with extra lime wedges on the side!

Tips for Keto Success

• For extra fat, drizzle with more olive oil or add bacon bits.

• Customize: Swap chicken for shrimp, steak, or tofu for a vegetarian twist (use keto-friendly seasonings).

• Storage: Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the veggies.
