All the sizzle, none of the tortilla

Fajitas are naturally close to keto-friendly. The seasoned chicken, charred peppers, and onions are all fair game; it is only the tortillas and rice that push the carbs up. Build them into a bowl over cauliflower rice and you keep every bit of the flavor.

This is a great template to riff on. Load it with your favorite keto toppings like avocado, sour cream, and cheese, and dinner comes together in under half an hour.

  • Slice everything thin for fast, even cooking
  • Get the pan hot for real fajita char
  • Finish with lime for brightness

Recipe FAQ

Can I meal prep fajita bowls?

Yes. Store the chicken, vegetables, and cauliflower rice together in containers for up to four days. Add fresh avocado and sour cream just before eating so they stay at their best.

How do I keep the net carbs low?

Peppers and onions carry most of the carbs here, so stick to the amounts listed. Cauliflower rice keeps the base very low, and avocado adds healthy fat without spiking carbs.
