Keto Mexican Food Recipes
When you get down to the basics, you can’t go wrong, even on a keto diet that avoids rice, beans, and corn.
Keep the carbs low and bulk up your breakfast with Cauliflower Rice.
Leftover 15 Minute Carne Asada tastes amazing the next day when you add it to an omelette.
If you’re missing tortillas, opt for a Cauliflower Tortilla instead of a corn or flour one. The keto tortilla bends and flexes perfectly, ready to hold all your favorite fillings without cracking and falling apart. Add this excellent Traeger pulled pork recipe as another filling option to create a truly satisfying Mexican dish.
You can also scramble this omelette recipe and wrap it in a Keto Flatbread. It’s a real keto breakfast burrito!

Ingredients
Butter – Isn’t everything better with butter? Choose grass-fed butter, if you can.
Eggs – Opt for free-range, pastured eggs or raise them yourself!
Queso fresco – A soft authentic Mexican cheese
Salsa – A standard tomato salsa is all you need, although I also recommend Tomatillo Avocado Salsa.
Salt and pepper – Just a little seasoning to taste
Directions
Begin by warming the butter over medium-high heat in a skillet or frying pan.
Next, pour eggs in the pan and leave for 2 minutes until edges cook and eggs start to set.
Then, lower the heat until the egg is almost cooked through and arrange the cheese and salsa on one half of the omelette.
The cheese is soft; just crumble it with your fingers as you put it in.
Fold the omelette in half by bringing the egg side up to cover and rest on top of the filling.
Finally, remove from heat and serve hot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
YUM!

Yay for a winning recipe! Thanks for leaving a review.
I tried this low-carb Mexican omelette yesterday, and it was a game-changer for my breakfast routine! The combination of ingredients created an authentic Mexican taste that satisfied my cravings. Plus, the fact that it’s low-carb made it even better for my health goals. I would highly recommend this for a quick and flavorful morning meal!
Thank you for the recommendation, Janice. This is a great go-to morning meal.
My daughter is in her last year of school and had taken to skipping breakfast. Mostly because she isn’t a big fan of the food you usually eat at breakfast (sugary cereal or toast) but also because she thought skipping breakfast would mean less food and was therefore healthier, which we know isn’t try but try telling a 17 year old girl that! .
I wasn’t super happy and have been trying to temp her with different breakfast items. I told her I am happy to get up and cook you a breakfast as long as you eat it.
There has been some give and take and some things have been a total miss, but this omelette was a massive success. Tacos are one of her favorite dishes so selling a taco style omelette went well and she loved the taste. She had some avocado and a little hot sauce with hers and she has asked for it 4 times over the last fortnight.
So THANK YOU!!! It was stressing me out thinking of her going to school and trying to study on an empty stomach and also I didn’t like the “starving myself” mindset. So this has been a massive game changer for us!
THANK YOU
Wow, Claire, I’m deeply touched by your experience. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I myself was of a very similar mindset as a 17-year-old. The situation takes a delicate touch to be sure! Thank you for loving your daughter enough to honestly try to help her. I’ll be keeping you and your family in mind as I work on future recipes!
This omelette was the right amount of spicy and it’s a protein packed breakfast. It turned out so delicious and super easy to make.
It sure is a quick way to enjoy protein in the morning. Thanks for the review.
Thanks! Mexican anything is my favorite and this was so easy. My presentation wasn’t quite as pretty, but tasted great!
Taste is what matters most! I’m so glad you like it!
