Anyone have a great Low Carb Mexican Food recipe?

We are thinking taco salads, but does anyone have a great low carb option for someone doing Atkins 20?

fajitas minus the tortillas

I don't do low carb diet but to save calories sometimes I will take a corn tortilla, cut into thin strips and bake until crispy/browning a little. Put those on the top of your lettuce, cheese, meat salad, hot sauce (or salsa if allowed). Adds a nice crunch you might otherwise miss and you can really taste the corn while using only a small amount.

You can do a very small corn tortilla or half of one if needed to fit your carb allowance. Maybe forego some other carbs that day if you need to so you can fit this in.


I use these baked strips in my tortilla soup too - added after served into a bowl - so I don't have to add very much to save some calories

Carne con chile

My go to favorites for Mexican are fajitas and carnitas minus the tortillas. If you don’t want to give up the tortillas, there are street taco size that you can have 3 for around 100 calories.

Large romaine or butter lettuce leaves can be substituted for tortillas in tacos and fajitas. I have started doing it alot since I'm trying to reduce my carb intake to curb my overactive appetite, lol. They are actually quite good and lower calorie.

Late to the game, but shells made of cheese for tacos.
