Who doesn’t love Mexican food?! Just because some Mexican dishes include tortillas, rice or beans, it doesn’t mean that you can no longer enjoy them while on a low-carb or keto diet. Rather, you simply swap out the higher-carb ingredients with low-carb alternatives like cauliflower rice, low-carb tortillas or romaine lettuce leaves. And, if you ask us, these low-carb alternatives are just as yummy.

When on a low-carb and keto diet, it's important to have tasty quick and easy recipes for when you're short on time or simply don’t have the patience to cook. Here are more than 10 delicious low-carb and keto Mexican recipes that are quick and easy to prepare. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
