Keto Mexican Chimichangas

Keto Mexican Chimichangas

THE GAME IS CHANGED BY THEM! The low-carb wheat tortillas may cause issues for certain keto dieters, but my family liked them and I occasionally use them in recipes! Keto Mexican Chimichangas are a pleasant change of pace and extremely delicious if you’re missing soft flour tortillas.

We need a great low carb tortilla to cut carbs – and coming in at just 3 net carbs per tortilla, Mama Lupe’s brand is a yummy option. To a traditional flour tortilla, they’re soft and taste super similar . For burritos, you can use these tortillas , tacos, wraps, or for chips and tostada shells, even fry them !

On top in the oven, the last step is just melting some enchilada sauce and cheese . Easy and muy delicioso!

Ok, this idea is heaven!

Make this ASAP if you’ve been avoiding Mexican food thinking it can’t be keto-friendly. I think As a yummy quick lunch or dinner, you’ll love it ! Cheesy and crunchy, I loved the taste and texture.
