Are fajitas Keto?

The short answer is yes; fajitas are Keto, but this depends on the ingredients used and their quantities. For example, onions are a staple ingredient for making fajitas; however, they are very high in carbs and must be used in small amounts. Another ingredient to look out for when making fajitas is seasoning. Store-bought taco or fajita seasoning often contains high-carb filler ingredients such as cornstarch. The best option would be to make your seasoning mix from scratch or add each ingredient separately, as we did in this recipe.

Can you use rotisserie chicken?

Using rotisserie chicken for this Keto chicken fajita casserole is an excellent way to reduce cooking time. Remember to add in the skin for an extra roasted flavor. Also, this recipe is a great way to use any leftover chicken, whether grilled, poached, or roasted.

Is this recipe suitable for meal preps?

One of the great things about this recipe is that it can be prepared ahead of time. Follow all the steps to making this casserole but don't bake it. Cover it in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. When it's dinner time, bake it at 350 degrees for 10 minutes longer than what the recipe asks for.
