About this category
Mexican and Tex-Mex flavors adapt to keto better than you might think. Tortillas, rice, beans and corn are off the table, but the heart of these dishes lies in seasoned meat, peppers, chili, lime, cheese and avocado. A chicken fajita skillet with bell peppers and avocado delivers everything you would put in a tortilla, served straight from the pan or wrapped in lettuce leaves.
Chili con carne without beans gets its body from ground beef, tomatoes and spices and tastes just as hearty. A chipotle pulled pork bowl uses smoky chipotle peppers for depth and works well for meal prep, since the meat keeps for several days. Guacamole with avocado and lime is a natural side for almost every dish in this category and makes a quick snack with vegetable sticks.
Use spice blends without sugar or flour fillers, or mix your own from cumin, chili powder, oregano and smoked paprika. Canned chipotle peppers in adobo can contain a little sugar, but a small amount goes a long way. Jalapeños, sour cream, cheddar and fresh cilantro make good toppings, and a jalapeño cheese soup with bacon is a warming option for colder days.
