Fajitas have always been a favorite of mine and something I’m still able to enjoy on keto. They’re easy to make and is a meal that the entire family can enjoy! I serve mine with all of my favorite toppings and make my own homemade seasoning that only requires a few pantry staples. The recipe for the seasoning is included below. Hope you enjoy!

There are so many yummy topping options that you can pair with your fajitas. Here are a few that I enjoy:
