Keto Chicken Fajita

by MaiTaiComfort FoodLeave a Comment on Keto Chicken Fajita

Chicken fajitas are super easy to make and oh so satisfying. I love that it comes with colorful veggies. It’s also really easy to customize and make keto friendly. You can wrap it up in homemade keto tortillas, store bought flaxseed lavash bread or turmeric coconut wrap. 

No low-carb wraps, no problem! Just eat it by itself or over a nice green salad. Make it your way and keep it interesting with different topping. I love toppings avocados, shredded cheese and sour cream. 

My ketofied chicken fajita was inspired by Cafe Delites’ Best Chicken Fajitas recipe. I love it because she only used 5 ingredients for the chicken fajita marinade. I cut my chicken thighs into bite sizes pieces to expedite the cooking process. 

Make this easy chicken recipe and have dinner ready within 30 minutes. It’ll be a big hit with the family. The chicken marinade is made with clean ingredients that are already in your pantry. 

This is totally optional, but I added Bae Blend’s #tacotuesday seasoning.  Bae Blend’s is made with wholesome ingredients and takes your food to the next level! 

Here’s the description of #tacotuesday: 

This squeaky clean taco seasoning is the perfect mix of flavorful spices with just the right kick to make every day Taco Tuesday. Add to beef, pork, chicken, or seafood.

Ingredients: Ancho peppers, onion, kosher salt, garlic, pepper, paprika, other herbs and spices (including chipotle pepper and cayenne), and citric acid.

Instant Pot No Bean Keto Chili

by MaiTaiComfort FoodLeave a Comment on Instant Pot No Bean Keto Chili

Keto Beef Chili is one of my favorite one-pot meal. Everything is cooked in the Instant Pot. The best part is that once you close the lid, you don’t have to babysit it. You are free to go do something else without a care in the world (for dinner at least🤷🏽‍♀️). 

If you have package of ground beef, you are pretty much set. I always buy a few packages and put them in my freezer for easy meals like this. The other items like onion, garlic, canned tomatoes are pantry staples for a lot of home cooks. Spices like cumin and chili powder are commonly used in this recipe and many other. Chances are you probably have have everything you need to make it tonight!

A spoonful of this chili will sure to warm your heart.

Keto Chicken Fajita Wrap🐔🌯

by MaiTaiComfort Food / Wraps2 Comments on Keto Chicken Fajita Wrap🐔🌯

I love it when I can repurpose leftover proteins for another meal. Well, this is exactly what I did with the chicken fajita from dinner.

I found some Tumeric Coconut Wrap in my pantry and it was exactly what I needed to make a chicken wrap. I just had to microwave the chicken, spread it on the wrap and added some cheese and veggies on top. It was so good and different enough from dinner that it was exciting.

Tasty and quick low carb chicken wrap🌯

I got the coconut wrap from Thrive Market, but I’ve seen them at Walmart and other online retailer. This particular wrap is tumeric flavor and it’s my favorite. I love the yellow color. It’s a combination of sweetness from the coconut and the intoxicating fragrance of the tumeric. The wrap is soft and pliable like a regular tortilla or any other conventional wraps.

Lay your desired ingredients on top.
Up close and personal with my lunch.

So if you’re looking for a way to repurpose your leftovers, why not try to wrap it up?🌯

Check out the video below to follow the simple step by step instructions to how to make this delicious and flavorful chicken fajita.
