Keto Tamales w Green Chicken

Thank goodness these Keto tamales are low in carbs because you’ll definitely want to munch away at more than one of these almost-authentic style savory snacks. While traditional Mexican tamales are made with corn, these ones are made with a Keto blend that gives the same texture and feel as the real stuff. Many tamales are filled with meat, so these ones are filled with a mixture of shredded chicken and green salsa. Since tamales are made in batches, you can use this recipe for meal prepping or for serving a crowd. You’d never know they were Keto until you were told! Please note that in order to make tamales, you will need dried corn husks for wrapping them. This ingredient is not included in the ingredient list because you won’t be consuming it and to reflect accurate macros.

Make The Chicken With A Slow Cooker

If you don’t want to spend time babysitting your oven, you can make the green chicken in a slow cooker or Crock-Pot. Follow the directions to assemble the chicken in your slow cooker. Then, just cook the chicken on low heat for 8 hours. It may seem like there is some excess liquid, but the chicken should absorb most of it once it’s shredded and mixed together.

What To Eat With Tamales

Tamales are traditionally served with different salsas, but they are delicious even when eaten alone. There should be enough salsa or sauce inside the tamale that more isn’t necessarily needed. At your discretion, you can also eat the Keto tamales with sour cream, squeezes of lime or lemon juice, or a Keto guacamole. Add some dashes of hot sauce too!
