Low Carb Air Fryer Enchilada Bowl
You have got to love the Air Fryer, especially for Keto recipes! Thinly sliced chicken breasts are roasted in the air fryer seasoned with Mexican spices like cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Once roasted, they are sliced thin and topped on a bed of fluffy cauliflower rice. The entire bowl is topped with diced green bell peppers, cheese, and enchilada sauce and roasted in the air fryer until the cheese is crispy and golden. The final enchilada bowl is topped with an assortment of toppings like sliced black olives, sour cream, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, avocado, sliced jalapenos, and cotija cheese. This dish makes for an excellent weeknight meal for lunch or dinner.
What kind of shredded cheese can I use?
Any shredded cheese like Chihuahua, mozzarella, cheddar, or Mexican-blend of shredded cheese would be excellent.
Do I have to use the air fryer for this recipe?
No, feel free to use an oven at the same temperature. You will need to add additional time if using a conventional range.
Is this a good meal for meal prepping?
Yes! All the ingredients in this recipe hold up very well for prepping ahead of time. Simply leave off the fresher toppings like sour cream, avocado, and jalapeno until ready to serve.

Could someone check the macros or the serving size? 87 grams of protein for chicken????

Delicious!! Question: This recipe says strictly limit? Why is that- that carb/macro count seems off to me.

Looks to me like the serving size is wrong. Probably should be listed as 4 servings instead of 2 serving. 2 serving with a whole pound of chicken and 2 cup of riced cauli is a lot. lol Looks good, tho. I am gonna give it a try.

Fabulous! The only change I made was I did not have enchilada sauce so I used taco sauce. Loved the rice cauliflower underneath. Oh yes and I cooked this in my air fryer which I really love.

Delicious. Might add more jalapeño next time. Recipe yielded about twice how it looked in the photos. For a solo keto person, this will make a couple of dinners and lunches. Use air fryer to cook the chicken, but finished prep in the oven. This will be a cold weather go to comfy dish.

Delicious. I used a combo of cheddar and pepperjack instead of Queso Chihuahua and added hatch chilis instead of jalapenos and used more enchilada sauce. i also reduced the amount of chicken. Cooked the chicken in the air fryer but finished it off in the oven.
