Low Carb Taco Bake
This low carb, Keto-friendly casserole comes together quick and easy. The most important step is to brown your cauliflower rice. If cauliflower-rice isn’t toasted it tends to be soft and kind of soggy. Cook your chicken however you prefer, I usually poach it. Then just mix and bake.
The toppings are what really make this dish. Avocados, olives, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and cilantro to start. Add any other low carb topping you prefer. You could even crunch up some low carb tortilla chips as a topping.
This is more of a low carb diet recipe rather than strict Keto.
