Hilachas (Estilo Keto, Sin Papa)
Keto-Style Shredded Beef Stew (No Potato)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly confirm no potatoes are included in the stew. About 10g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Shredded beef stewed in a rich, slightly spicy tomato-based sauce, flavored with spices. Modified to omit potatoes and served without rice or tortillas. The sauce is generally naturally thickened by reduction rather than masa.
Key ingredients
Beef flank steak (or similar cut), tomatoes, tomatillos, guajillo chiles, pasilla chiles, onion, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, beef broth, olive oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly confirm no potatoes are included in the stew. Request no rice or tortillas on the side. Inquire if any sugar is added to the sauce (unlikely for authentic hilachas but possible in some restaurants).
Watch out for
Potatoes in the stew, hidden sugars in the sauce, served with high-carb sides by default.
