Tips and Variations

• You can use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts, if you prefer. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
• You can make your own keto tortillas by mixing 2 cups of almond flour, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of water, and a pinch of salt in a blender or food processor, then cooking them in a lightly greased skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden and flexible.
• You can use any keto-friendly salsa, such as homemade, store-bought, or canned. You can also make your own salsa by blending some fresh or canned tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender.
• You can add some other ingredients to the fajitas, such as cheese, avocado, black olives, or jalapeños, for extra flavor and nutrition.
