Keto Tex-Mex Stuffed Chicken

Tex-Mex is the perfect style of cooking because it’s loaded with spices that are a mix of sweet and a little heat.This filling is made of chopped jalapeno, crispy lettuce, and cauliflower rice in lieu of white rice. Top everything off with a mix of shredded cheeses, and you have a well rounded dinner!

    Tried this for dinner. Instead of wraps I pounded the chicken thin and then layered the filling on top, let it cook and then added the cheese to melt. It was delicious and super filling. Also easy and quick to make.
