Chicken Cabo Breakfast Skillet
Loaded with flavor and quick to assemble on a busy day, this breakfast skillet gives all the flavors you want to start your day.
Keto Huevos Rancheros
Summary: These “ranch-style eggs” are inspired by a mid-morning breakfast enjoyed by ranchers on rural Mexican farms: fried eggs and fresh toppings served over tortillas. To make this, you only need a handful of simple ingredients, but they pack a ton of flavor. My version is low carb, keto, and vegetarian.
Mexican Crustless Quiche
Chorizo sausage and peppers round out this crustless quiche. If you aren’t a fan of super spicy, use mild chorizo sausage. A personal favorite from Homemade Interest
Enchilada Frittata
Tasty Low Carb has created this yummy frittata that freezes well for leftovers.
Roasted Pepita Seed Tortillas
The search for a corn tortilla is over with these roasted pepita and pumpkin seed tortillas. Make certain to roll them paper-thin for a durable shell with great crunch. You can also roll the dough on a baking sheet, cut it into triangles and enjoy tortilla chips.
Chicken Enchiladas
Slow roasted chicken in authentic seasoning blend well with the pepita seed tortillas. The tortillas crunch up in the oven bringing a great flavor combination for your celebration.
Keto Pork Rind Tortillas
If you desire a thicker tortilla, these pork rind tortillas by The Primitive Palate will fit the requirement. Try them with a lime-based pork rind for a southwest tangy twist. One of the best textures for a flour-like tortilla tested. You’ll definitely want to make these again.
Taco Casserole
With dairy-free options, this fresh-tasting taco casserole will win with the entire family (no bets on the picky toddler) Green chilies enhance the cauliflower rice’s creamy taste. A healthy combination of all the great parts of taco night.
Almond Flour Tortillas
Wholesome Yum has our favorite almond flour tortilla recipe. Pliable enough for tacos and great quesadilla potential. You’ll like the step-by-step instructions for added success.
Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
A few peppers and sliced chicken tossed in your favorite spices make for a fast week night dinner for the family. Mary’s Whole Life presents an excellent combination of flavor you can bake up tonight.
Keto Chicken Tamale Pie
The use of corn flavoring makes the difference in this tamale pie from My Keto Kitchen. I use the OOO Flavorings version. If you incorporate dairy into your way of eating, this recipe doesn’t disappoint.
Homemade Pork Carnitas
Want an authentic homemade meat option for your celebration? Look no further than this recipe. The current addiction to pork carnitas is a weekly occurrence and making it in a large batch to separate and freeze for that craving is perfect.
Coconut Flour Tortillas
The Conscious Plant Kitchen’s recipe for coconut flour tortillas is great with the added nutritional yeast. These tortillas freeze well when layered with parchment paper so you will always have tortillas ready to thaw and eat.
Slow Cooker Shredded Mexican Chicken
The Healthy Consultant’s recipe for shredded chicken is a personal favorite. For reheating, try in an air fryer or oven at 400° until the outer edges start to crisp. The blend of spices in this slow cooker recipe will have you drooling with anticipation.
Authentic Carne Asada
Down Shiftology’s recipe and step by step instruction for Carne Asada will make you a pro in no time. Following the steps has ensured success every time.

Chile Relleno Soup
Cast Iron Keto nails this dairy-free Chile Relleno soup and it only takes 30 minutes to complete. We do add in shredded chicken as suggested. Full of flavor but light enough for an evening meal.
Mexican Meatball Soup
While this Paleo soup from Real Food With Jessica calls for potatoes, we just substitute with celeriac cubes. You can also omit completely and still have a hearty soup loaded with all the things.
Green Enchiladas Chicken Soup
A great alternative to taco night is this green enchiladas chicken soup from Seeking Good Eats. At 5.5 net carbs, you’ll stay on track while enjoying the green chilies that absolutely make this soup amazing.
Mexican Cauliflower Rice
Completely obsessed is the first thought after tasting this recipe from All Day I Dream About Food. Want to change it up a bit? Add thinly sliced cooked sirloin in place of ground beef.
Keto Guacamole
No compilation of recipes would be complete without the beloved guacamole. This version from Keto Cooking Christian is just the right balance of yum. Using red onion really pops.
Pico de Gallo
Tomatoes do have a higher natural sugar and carb count that reduces the amount of salsa but pico de gallo gives you the right blend of everything. Tasty Thin’s version is the one I use.
