How to Make Mexican Food Keto
By making just a few of these adjustments, you can turn most any traditional dish into a Keto Mexican Recipe in a snap:
Use your own seasonings– Did you know that those little pre-made packets of Mexican seasonings you find at the grocery store usually contain maltodextrin, sugar or other unwanted preservatives? By using your own seasonings, you not only control the amount of flavors you’re adding to your meal, but you can also ensure you’re using all clean ingredients.
Make it with cauliflower- One of the things people miss the most on Keto is rice. But, you don’t have to! By making Keto Mexican Rice with cauliflower and seasonings, you’ll get to enjoy your favorite Mexican side dish without all the carbs.
Don’t skip the staples- Many ingredients used in Mexican food are already Keto friendly! Avocado, jalapenos, chorizo and poblano peppers as well as many seasonings like cumin, garlic, chili powder are already low carb and they all come together to give recipes that delicious Mexican flare.
Adding healthy fats-That’s one of the beautiful things about these Keto Mexican Recipes. Most of them can be adjusted to fit your macros or to add extra healthy fat by adding additional cheese, sour cream, olives or avocados.
What about tortillas?– Unfortunately tortillas made with corn or flour are not considered Keto and can blow your macros for the day. But this round up has your snacks covered too. There’s a Keto Tortilla recipe using almond flour you’ll love to use as a low carb substitute. If you’d like something quick and easy to dip in your Keto Queso, guacamole or any of these mouth-watering keto Mexican dips, you can use fresh veggies like sliced bell peppers and celery. For extra crunch, pork rinds make a great substitute!
