Keto Steak Fajita Casserole

Take your Mexican food options and Taco Tuesday dinners to new heights with our keto steak fajita casserole!

Our one-skillet recipe can be made in a cast iron skillet or other oven-proof skillet rather than a casserole dish for easy cleanup.

It’s the perfect meal to make when you find yourself dealing with busy weeknights or a quick weekend meal.

This keto casserole has a similar flavor profile to our keto steak fajitas recipe, except it uses cauliflower rice as the base of the casserole.

To make this keto-friendly casserole, start by cooking the frozen cauliflower rice according to the package instructions and setting it aside.

Then, in a large bowl, season the sliced steak with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and chipotle powder, and set it aside.

In a cast-iron skillet or another large oven-proof skillet, on medium-high heat, add the olive oil and cook the garlic, onions, and bell peppers until they begin to soften and become translucent. Then, stir in canned tomatoes and the water.
