This is sooooo delicious! I went a little heavier on the cumin and it was perfect! Instead of the rice in this recipe I made the Keto Spanish Rice recipe I found on here! Didn't even notice the tortillas were missing!

Do you have to use apple vinegar? Or would regular work?

Is there a way to recalculate the nutrition without the rice?

The best is with chipotle Tabasco sauce. Mmm. 😋 I really like this recipe, but I cut the salt from it completely. It’s WAY too salty for me. I add salt to my plate instead and it’s perfect.

One of my favorite recipes!! My husband and I love spicy food so I added some hot peppers to the sauce. AMAZING!

I did it too. I literally just threw all of the ingredients in and cooked until the chicken was done by temp.

I’m brand new to this whole world of keto. My husband wants to join in, however, he is allergic to all poultry and fish. Should he try a different diet like paleo? My real question is, is it going to ruin the balance of this meal if I use lean ground beef? I just realized the whole purpose of the chicken, so it won’t work with ground beef. My bad, lol.

You could substitute chicken for beef of pork

Try looking up something called Veto, its keto for vegetarians however its a lot tougher because of the lack of protein from meat and fish. So he would have to take a lot of pills.
