Cauliflower rice makes an easy addition to meal prep, making it the perfect solution for busy weeknights when dinner just needs to be ready when you arrive home. To create it yourself, start by cutting away the hard core and stalks from a head of cauliflower before cutting florets into bite-size florets that you pulse in batches in a food processor until you achieve roughly rice-grain size (add extra water if your cauliflower sticks together) For time savings you could also purchase pre-riced cauliflower from stores – saving both effort and effort!

Chicken fajitas are a simple dish to make and can be enjoyed either with traditional corn or flour tortillas or wrapped up in crisp lettuce leaves. If preparing them for a group, having an assortment of toppings such as guacamole and pico de gallo allows each individual diner to customize their meals according to individual taste preferences.
If you want a keto-friendly meal, opt for swapping out corn tortillas for a large green salad featuring tomatoes, avocado slices and black beans. Another fantastic choice would be creamy avocado salsa that can either top fajitas or be added as a side salad addition; this healthy dip is Keto friendly, low in carbohydrates and sugar free! It makes an ideal party food and can even add something special to easy keto pizzas with bacon bits and mozzarella!

The key to this recipe lies in baking chicken breasts before adding them to the dip, so they don’t dry out in the oven. After seasoning with garlic powder and onion powder for extra depth of flavor, white vinegar and lemon juice are added for additional tartness – creating a tasty creamy dish perfect for entertaining at parties or as healthy dinner option!
