MORE KETO & LOW CARB MEXICAN RECIPES
But yes, mostly the food!
This Instant Pot Mexican Shredded Beef recipe has become a staple in our house. I make it at least once a month, but usually more.
I love to freeze it in single-serve portions to make easy omelets topped with my Salsa Fresca or Salsa Roja, burrito bowls made with my Copycat Chipotle Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice, or just for quick tacos with my Homemade Keto Tortillas (newer recipe with almond flour and less egg coming soon).
If you don’t want to take the time to make your tortillas (although I HIGHLY suggest you do) you can grab Mama Lupe’s tortillas on Amazon. They are a bit pricey, but lower in carbs and way tastier than the other low carb versions for tacos I have found. If you are looking for burrito-sized tortillas I suggest La Tortilla Factory’s Low Carb Burrito Sized Tortillas.
They aren’t for people that are strict keto, or gluten-free, but if you do lazy/dirty keto they are right up your alley.
Anywho, back to this shredded beef.
Before the Mr and I got together, he was a ground beef taco and enchilada kinda guy. I thought it was a bit weird because, coming from So Cal, ground beef in enchiladas was just eewwwww.
When I asked him why he said it was because all of the Mexican food he had eaten with shredded beef was stringy, chewy, and dry. Which put me on a mission to make shredded beef enchiladas for him that he would not only like, but request.
Folks, I can proudly tell you that this recipe did just that!
So, not only is this recipe keto approved, it is hubby approved too!!
I love it when it works out that way😊
