Let’s get started with this easy keto chicken fajita recipe.
Keto Chicken Fajitas Ingredients
– Chicken breasts: I use boneless chicken breasts and cut them into thin strips.
– Peppers: I use one red bell pepper, one yellow pepper, and one green bell pepper. I cut them into strips. The sweetness on these peppers is different from each other and the color just looks beautiful in the dish.
– Onion: A medium onion sliced.
– Chilli powder: Chilli powder is a bit less spicy than cayenne pepper. You can use cayenne pepper if you prefer them to be spicier.
– Cumin: Cumin gives Mexican dishes its distinctive flavor.
– Garlic: I use 2 cloves of garlic minced.
– Olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is best for this recipe.
– Tortillas: Make sure to get low-carb tortillas. You can find them in most grocery stores.
– Freshly Ground Salt & Pepper: To taste. I like to use sea salt and also ground the pepper fresh.

1. Add them to a lettuce wrap if you are on a low-carb diet.
