When I figured out a fantastic keto tortilla recipe, our low-carb world opened up to more gut sticking recipes, like these salmon tacos, and breakfast burritos.

I was really going for a green dish, and got this brilliant idea to make my own spinach tortillas. I used my grain free tortilla recipe as a starter, adding fresh baby spinach leaves and adding a little more almond flour to soak up the moisture. They were this perfect on the first try.

The Trader Joe’s salsa verde makes this so easy to put together, but you could always make my  homemade roasted salsa verde.

I almost feel silly sharing this recipe because it’s incredibly easy and flexible.

You do need to make the tortilas, which only take about twenty minutes.  I use a rotisserie chicken (from Costco) most of the time, but you could use any left over meat.

Then it’s simply a matter of mixing chicken with salsa verde,  little sour cream and cheddar cheese. Once mixed, you top each tortilla with chicken mixture, fold, add more salsa verde and cheese and bake until the cheese is melted.

Serve with olives, green onion, cilantro and avocado for a full-fat, high protein, delicious easy dinner. These are great heated up the next day. You can also freeze and reheat. I tested that.

Have a wonderful New Year’s Eve. Eat a favorite food. Enjoy a cocktail. Kiss a loved one. If you’re looking for an easy party finger food, look no further. Make savory cheesecake bites, flavored with green onion and encrusted with potato chips.

This is a twist on my former recipe for Savory Cheesecake crusted in potato chips.  I’ve received lots of emails about it telling me how good it was, and it’s soon going to be in my top ten posts of all time, so I feel good encouraging you to make them.

Bite Sized Savory Cheesecake Bites are perfect to take a to a Party.

These are  bite size, made in a mini muffin tin, which is so perfect to take to a party.  No mess, no crackers needed. Guests can just pop them in their mouth.  I think people more and more appreciate bite sized finger foods.  So much easier to eat, and each bite remains appealing to the eye.

In addition to taking the savory cheesecake bites, I’ll be bringing these mini meatballs in a pastry shell with a savory blueberry compote and the world’s best flourless chocolate cake, made famous at the Zuni Cafe.

We are going to end the year with small bites of delicious food, and a few bottles of wine, knowing we can walk home. I hope you plan to stay safe, call a cab, have a designated driver, and watch out for the other guy.

I’ve picked a few of my favorite bites for tomorrow night. Tell me, what was your best bite of the year? Did you make it, or have it somewhere?
