How to Make Keto Chicken Fajita Roll Ups
To make these delicious Keto Chicken Fajita Roll Ups, start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl mix the lime juice with the olive oil, cilantro, cumin, garlic powder and salt. Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, then slice each of those halves in half lengthwise as well. Use a large zip lock bag or bowl and cover the chicken strips with the lime mixture. Mix until all the strips are completely coated with the marinade.
Cut the coloured peppers into strips. Then line a baking pan with parchment paper. Next place one of each of the coloured peppers onto one side a chicken strip. Roll the strip around the peppers then fasten it in place using a tooth pick. Repeat until all the chicken is rolled up. Then place the chicken roll ups onto the prepared pan. Bake for 18 – 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?
The ketogenic diet (often called keto) is very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.
While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.
