Easy Keto Chili
Easy Keto Chili
"You only need a handful ingredients to make this keto-friendly chili con carne. Paired with creamy toppings, this popular Mexican stew definitely makes for one satisfying comfort food. Make it a day ahead to save yourself time. And if you end up with leftovers (highly doubtful), freeze the extras for up to 4 months. You can add a jalapeno to this chili to give it a little kick of flavor. It won’t make this dish too spicy, but if you want to err on the side of caution, then half the amount of chili powder recommended in this recipe."
NotesChili is best served hot and spicy, but you already knew that. Many like to eat chili with tortilla chips. On a keto diet, you can make low-carb tortilla chips with almond flour, psyllium husk, and mozzarella cheese. Also, make sure to top your chili with cheddar cheese, sour cream, avocados, or other low-carb toppings.
