I don’t know about you but I absolutely love Mexican food! One of the great things about being on a Ketogenic or Low Carb diet is that there are a lot of Mexican food recipes. Giving up bread, pasta and crackers is a very hard thing for me to do, so when I found out there were low carb tortillas, I jumped for joy! These tortillas are great for pizzas, bread substitutes and quesadillas!
I put together a very basic recipe that is so good that sometimes I have it for lunch or dinner several times a week! It’s quick and easy and most of the tortillas are between 4 to 5 grams of carbs per serving. If you are a strict Keto person you may want to limit it to just one or only have it once or twice a week. The recipe is below, you can get creative and use steak or eggs. These would also make great fajitas! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 Low carb tortillas (I use these tortillas)
1/4 cup cheese cheddar or mozzarella
1 tbsp of butter
3 strips of chicken (I use this chicken)
1tbsp Sour Cream
hot sauce or salsa to taste
1/2 Avocado (optional)
Directions:
Section out the four chicken strips and microwave for 1 minute. When the chicken is done slice up the pieces into bite size chunks and set aside. In a skillet set to medium heat, add in 1 tablespoon of butter. Let the butter melt and then add in the first tortilla. Let the tortilla sit in the butter for one minute and then add in the first sprinkle of cheddar cheese and lightly coat the tortilla. Next align the chicken chunks around the tortialla evenly.
Add the remainder of the cheese and then the second tortilla. Press down and flatten the tortillas as much as you can lightly. Once the bottom layer is crispy turn the tortilla over and brown the other side. Be careful to not burn the tortillas, if it gets too hot then turn down the heat to low. Wait about a minute or two and you are done! Remove from stove and cut into four squares.
Garnesh your plate with half of an avocado and some sourcream and hot sauce for dipping, enjoy!
