Step by Step Instructions
How to make Keto Fish Taco Bowls
STEP 1: Cut the fish into 4 equal-sized pieces. Place the fish in a shallow baking dish and coat generously with the olive oil and taco seasoning. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the taco bowls.
STEP 2: Put ½ cup of the cauliflower rice in each of 4 serving bowls. Arrange one-quarter each of the bell pepper, jalapeño, avocado, tomatoes, cabbage, and olives around the outside of each bowl, leaving a space for the fish in the center.
STEP 3: Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the fish and cook until it is browned and flakes easily, about 3 minutes per side. Taste a small piece of the fish and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
STEP 4: Place a piece of fish in the center of each of the arranged bowls. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, absolutely. Just coat it with olive oil and the taco seasoning as the recipe calls for and then cook it in the air fryer at 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
If you are not a fan of raw vegetables, simply saute them in a little bit of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Cook them until they are crisp-tender.
If you are not a fan of cilantro, I recommend substituting parsley, green onions, or both.

These are so fresh and light. I have already made it twice in 2 days. I did it once exactly like this and then I made it again and used your Chili Lime Shrimp and your mexican cauliflower rice like you suggested. Definitely going to be on repeart this summer.

This was so good! We adjusted the quantities a bit to end up with a little more fish for the two of us. Really good flavors and it felt like a nice light take on Mexican flavors!

This was just excellent! Loved the flavour combinations! I didn't have any yellow peppers, so just left it out and it was still perfect! We will have this one again and again!
