Hilachas con Arroz de Coliflor
Shredded Beef in Tomato Sauce with Cauliflower Rice
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Guatemalan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Shredded beef stewed in a savory tomato-based sauce, often enriched with a blend of roasted tomatoes, tomatillos, and a touch of mild chiles. Traditionally served with potatoes, this keto version replaces them with cauliflower rice.
Key ingredients
Shredded beef (flank, skirt, or brisket), tomatoes, tomatillos, guajillo chiles (mild), onion, garlic, bell peppers, bay leaves, olive oil, beef broth, cauliflower rice.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes. Instead, ask for it to be served with cauliflower rice, if available, or a side of steamed low-carb vegetables (broccoli, zucchini).
Watch out for
The sauce can sometimes be thickened with a small amount of flour or masa. Ensure the restaurant understands no flour/masa. High-carb vegetables often used are potatoes. Cauliflower rice needs to be plain, not mixed with other grains. Check for added sugars in tomato sauces.
