How spicy is it?
We are pretty moderate when it comes to spicing things up, so if you follow the recipe exactly it will be only a mild spice level. However, since there are three spicy ingredients in this recipe, you can adjust as follows:
Add more cayenne pepperUse a “hot” salsa (we usually use “medium”)Use a spicy hot sauce and/or add more hot sauce on top for serving (we usually use “mild” or “medium”)
Basically, adjust the recipe to suit your taste and desired level of spiciness!
The most flavorful cauliflower rice
Let’s be honest, cauliflower rice can be pretty bland and boring at times. We’ve had our share of unsatisfying cauliflower rice….. But not this recipe! Since cauliflower rice will soak up any flavors you cook it in, we always like to cook it in the same pan that we cooked the chicken in. That way, it soaks up all of the little bits of seasonings and flavors left in the pan from the chicken. Then, we added a little salsa and hot sauce to kick it up a notch!
Some tips to make this even more keto friendly

Make sure to use a low-carb salsa (the salsa showing in the nutrition calculation below is adding 2.25g net carbs per serving to the recipe)Use a keto friendly hot sauce, since some use added sugarReplace the salsa and hot sauce with a low carb sauce like this chipotle aioli
