Low Carb Mexican Chicken Bowl has to be one of my quickest-to-fix low carb recipes! If you are at all familiar with my blog, you know I have recently became obsessed with philly cheesesteak variations and this is basically one more version.
Above pic shows the first step in preparing recipe, sautéing the peppers, onions and mushrooms. Be sure to cook the veggies long enough so they become tender or to the doneness you prefer.

Looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it for my two year old who’s type 1 diabetic. One question: are the tomatoes drained?
Charlotte says
Yes, the tomatoes are drained and added to the queso. If the mixture is too thick, you can add some of the reserved liquid to thin it some.Hope you enjoy!
Bridge says

I wish you included a recipe multiplier, some service 2 some 4 etc. this is picky for a free recipe but having to convert everything to larger number of servings is a pain and slows everything down. I’m old and cranky I guess.

You can adjust the recipe serving size on the print page! Hope that helps! Thanks for visiting.
