About
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.
