Keto Chicken Fajita Casserole

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons avocado oil (divided)
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion (sliced)
  • 2 medium bell peppers (sliced)
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast (about 2 medium, sliced or cubed)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 cup cauliflower rice (instead of tortillas)
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/3 cup salsa
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C.

  5. Pour half of the sauce mixture into the skillet with the chicken and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
  6. Add the cooked fajita veggies back in along with cauliflower rice, spinach, and the remaining sauce mixture. Stir everything together.
  7. Remove from heat and top with shredded cheese and cilantro.
  8. Place the casserole in the oven and bake for another 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and everything is warm.
  9. Remove from the oven, add crushed red pepper if desired, serve, and enjoy!
