Shredded Beef in Spicy Tomato Sauce with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no rice, no tortillas, no potatoes. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Guatemalan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender shredded beef cooked in a savory and slightly spicy tomato-based sauce, featuring bell peppers and chiles. Traditionally served with rice and often potatoes, this keto version omits all starches and focuses on the rich meat and sauce, accompanied by a small side of keto-friendly steamed or grilled vegetables.
Key ingredients
Shredded beef (flank or brisket), tomatoes, tomatillos, red bell pepper, guajillo chiles, onion, garlic, beef broth, cooking oil, small side of steamed green beans or broccoli (not traditional, but for keto).
How to make it keto
Absolutely no rice, no tortillas, no potatoes. Ask for it to be served with a simple green salad or steamed low-carb vegetables instead of traditional starchy sides.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in tomato sauce, thickening agents (masa/flour) in sauce, potatoes included by default, sweet bell peppers in large quantities.
