Llapingachos de Chayote Rellenos de Queso (Keto)
Keto Chayote Fritters Stuffed with Cheese
Yes, with a tweak: confirm chayote is used instead of potato. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A keto-friendly take on the traditional potato fritters, using mashed chayote (or güisquil) instead of potato, stuffed with cheese, pan-fried, and served without corn or peanut sauce.
Key ingredients
Chayote, mozzarella or fresco cheese (for stuffing), egg, almond flour (minimal, for binding), achiote oil, salt, pepper. Served with avocado and a fried egg.
How to make it keto
Confirm chayote is used instead of potato. Ensure minimal almond flour is used only for binding, not for a thick coating. Request without peanut sauce (salsa de maní) or 'mote' (hominy corn).
Watch out for
Actual potato, excessive almond flour, traditional sugary peanut sauce, high-carb sides (mote, chorizo with sugar).
