Costra de Queso Rellena de Carne
Stuffed Cheese Crust with Seasoned Beef
Yes, keto as served. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A savory 'crust' made entirely from griddled, crispy cheese (like Oaxaca or Monterrey Jack), folded over and generously filled with tender, seasoned beef (e.g., arrachera, suadero, or ground beef). It's essentially a tortilla-less taco where the cheese takes the place of the tortilla, making it naturally keto. Served with cilantro and onion.
Key ingredients
Oaxaca or Monterrey Jack cheese, seasoned beef
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugar is added to the beef seasoning. Confirm cheese is pure without fillers. Request extra avocado or a side salad instead of traditional carb-heavy accompaniments.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in beef seasoning, small amounts of high-carb vegetables if used excessively as filler in the beef.
