Hilachas (Keto)
Shredded Beef Stew with Low-Carb Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: strictly request omission of potatoes, carrots, green beans, and rice. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Guatemalan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender shredded beef simmered in a rich, slightly tangy tomato-based sauce, often flavored with mild spices. This keto-modified version excludes the traditional high-carb vegetables and is served with appropriate low-carb alternatives to maintain flavor and texture.
Key ingredients
Shredded beef (flank or brisket), tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, garlic, beef broth, olive oil, güisquil (chayote) or cabbage, bay leaf.
How to make it keto
Strictly request omission of potatoes, carrots, green beans, and rice. Ask for extra low-carb vegetables such as chayote, bell peppers, or cabbage to replace the omitted starchy ones.
Watch out for
Potatoes, carrots, green beans, rice, hidden sugars in tomato sauce base.
