Fajita Pizza

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F

For the fajita chicken

  • Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and give it a spray with avocado oil.
  • In a medium bowl add the egg, splash of almond milk and whisk together.
  • In another medium bowl mix together the almond flour, chili powder, garlic, cumin, salt, paprika, and oregano.
  • Take the chicken breast, dunk it into the egg mixture and then into the spice mixture. Coat it with the blackened fajita mix.
  • Add the chicken to the cast iron pan and sear on both sides for 3-4 minutes. Transfer to the oven and let bake for 25 minutes. Let it cool to touch and then slice.

For the fajita chicken pizza

  • Take your crust (pre-baked if needed) and add the pizza sauce. Sprinkle some fajita seasoning over the crust (this is optional, I used Flavor God's but you can sprinkle ¼ tsp each of chili, cumin, and garlic powder).
  • At this stage, I like to add a sprinkle (¼ cup) of cheese so the toppings have something to stick too.
  • Layer on the peppers, onions, chicken, and cheese. I like to add cheese in between each "layer" to act as glue. Top with the black beans.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes. Slice up and enjoy.

Notes

To make this recipe quick and easy I used a pre packaged cauliflower crust and the nutritional information uses that crust. The crust I used was from Molinaro's Cauliflower Pizza Kit.
If you use a frozen or homemade crust that will affect the macronutrients and calorie count.

21 Day Fix Pizza Counts

If you're curious what the counts are if you're doing the 21 Day Fix or Ultimate Portion Fix here's the breakdown:
The whole recipe: 4 greens, 4 1/2 reds, 9 yellows, 6 blue.
All crusts are different but usually a cauliflower crust is 8 yellow and at least 2 blues and counted as 8 servings so that are the figures that are used below.
Per serving: 1/2 green, 1/2 red, 1 1/8 yellow, 3/4 blue.
