Keto Friendly Mexican Dishes

We went out for lunch today at a local Mexican restaurant and I decided to try something new off the menu.  Well, something new to me, anyway.  I often get fajitas and just don't eat the shells or the rice and beans that come with it.

Today I ordered the Chori Pollo off the lunch menu.  It was a huge grilled chicken breast, smothered in Chorizo and cheese sauce.  It was supposed to come with beans and rice but I asked if they could substitute a salad with a side of Pico De Gallo for the beans and rice. The only thing I will do different next time is also request guacamole with the salad.

  

OMG it was delicious!  and I have enough left for my evening meal tonight.  

While we are talking about Mexican Food, this seems like the perfect time to finally get around to sharing this recipe.   

Ed and our daughter Rachel put their heads together and came up with their own version of one of our favorite dishes at our local Mexican Restaurant.  We've been enjoying this dish for probably a year or better now, and we still haven't come up with a catchy name for it.  We just call it  4 Meat Mexican Dish.

4 Meat Mexican Dish

1 package of Chorizo (read the label to make sure you are buying the 0 to 1 carb version)
1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 pound shaved thin ribeyes
5 oz of real bacon bacon bits (or 1 pound of bacon)
½ cup of diced frozen onions
1 package of frozen peppers and onions (or you can use fresh)
¼ cup of Worcestershire Sauce
2 to 3 TBS of Ed’s Keto Taco Seasoning (see recipe below)
½ cup water

Toppings:
Shredded cheese of your choice
Gordo’s Cheese Sauce
Sour Cream
Guacamole

Cook the Chorizo with the ½ cup of diced onions.  Then set it on back burner on low, stirring occasionally while you cook the Chicken.

Cut the chicken into thin strips and then while cooking cut it smaller, into bite size pieces.  Add the Keto Taco Seasoning and water.  Let simmer until the chicken is well cooked.  Then add the frozen peppers and onions,  bacon bits and the cooked Chorizo to the Chicken and again, let simmer, stirring occasionally while you cook the Ribeyes.

Cut the shaved Ribeyes into bite sized pieces and cook it in the Worcestershire Sauce.  Once it’s cooked, add it to the other three meats.  Mix well.

To serve, top with Shredded Cheese and Melted Gordo’s Cheese (yes, we use both)
You may also top with sour cream and guacamole, if desired.

As many times as we've eaten this, I can not believe this is the only photo I have of it.  I took this one at work yesterday.  I had to dump it out of the dish to heat it up so my toppings are all on the bottom.  Oh well, I guess this way they not hiding what the meal looks like before you add your toppings.
