Keto Chilaquiles Rojos (con Chicharrón y Huevo)
Keto Red Chilaquiles (with Pork Rinds and Egg)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure pork rinds are used as the base instead of fried tortillas. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Mexican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-friendly reinterpretation of the classic Chilaquiles, using crispy pork rinds (chicharrones) instead of tortilla chips, simmered in a rich, spicy red salsa, and topped with an egg. Served without beans or rice.
Key ingredients
Crispy pork rinds, red tomatoes, serrano peppers, onion, garlic, chicken broth, eggs, avocado, sour cream (or crema mexicana), crumbled queso fresco, cilantro, cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, canola).
How to make it keto
Ensure pork rinds are used as the base instead of fried tortillas. Confirm no added sugar or flour/starch thickeners in the red salsa. Served without rice, beans, or any high-carb sides.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in store-bought or restaurant-made salsa, starches in broth or as thickeners, excessive use of high-carb vegetables, cross-contamination if fried with high-carb items.
