If you are on a keto or grain free diet, you can now have fried fish tacos!

Pork Panko is made from pork skins and are zero carbs. Our Costco in now carrying Pork Panko at a good price. If you can’t find them, you can make your own use a food processor and grind pork rinds. 

I wondered if it would ever be possible to have fried fish again, since grains aren’t a regular part of my diet (outside of some sour dough here and there).

While you could crush your own, these are already perfectly made and more cost effective. They don’t have an overbearing oil flavor, are more neutral and perfect for oven-fried zucchini , chicken parm,  mayonannaise baked chicken, or shrimp scampi.

What makes a good Keto Fried fish taco and fish taco sauce?

Firstly, the fish should be good, but it has to have the right fish taco sauce and shredded cabbage. There are two ways to make an easy spicy creamy sauce. I usually will combine sour cream with mayonnaise, add lime juice and sriracha.  You could also use a fire-roasted salsa or a salsa verde to make a sauce for fish tacos. My favorite is even amounts of fire roasted salsa, sour cream and mayonnaise.

I use my grain free tortillas for these fish tacos.

Wild Alaskan Cod (make great fish tacos)

Cod is a delicious fish that is mild in flavor but has a firm enough flesh for frying. I used Alaskan wild cod in this recipe sent to me from Sitka Salmon Shares.

Here are the reasons Sitka Salmon Shares is worth joining.

Wild: Wild-caught from the pristine waters of Southeast Alaska

Community-based: Sourced from traditional fishing communities. Supported by a Midwest community of conscious consumers.

Premium: Harvested and hand-processed individually, flash-frozen at the peak of freshness to ensure the highest quality, guaranteed.

Sustainable: Harvested using hook-and-line methods to minimize negative ecological impact.

Traceable: The only fully-integrated Midwest CSF. 100% traceability from boat to doorstep.

Just: Owned by a collective of carefully selected small-scale family fishermen, all of whom

retain 20-30% more of the retail value or their harvest.

Convenient: Home delivered direct to your door, with recipes, newsletters, and more.

Conscious: Carbon offsets purchased and 1% of revenue donated back to the wild.

How You Can Get Wild Alaskan Seafood

I have received two boxes of fish in exchange for instagram posts and they are packed perfectly. Fish remains frozen, and you are notified in advance of delivery. This is such a joyful way to eat responsibly.

What is Carnitas?

Carnitas means little meats. This carnitas is pork braised in broth for at least 3 hours, then pulled apart, crisped up and caramelized in the juices under the broiler or in the oven. I usually double this recipe and braise the meat in this 7 quart cast iron dutch oven.

You can only imagine how exciting the last part of the cooking is.

One of my favorite ways to eat pork tacos is with this red cabbage slaw.

I also love to have my carnitas with salsa verde, recipe found here.

We did this dinner for a recent birthday, because it’s a great crowd pleaser and doesn’t take a lot of time to put together. You can braise in a cast iron dutch oven, which is what I did, or make it in a slow cooker.

Pork Carnitas, Braised in Slow Cooker or Dutch Oven then Baked to Crispy

You will need to use the oven for the final twenty minutes, when the shredded pork cooks away in its juices and gets crispy on the ends. I was lucky enough to find a orange chipotle salt at Whole Foods, a new addition to their spices. It added that extra kick, but I didn’t include it in the recipe, because not everyone would have access to it.

My husband’s famous guacamole or sliced avocados are a must.

Perfect for a Cinco de Maya party, serve carnitas, which can be made ahead, even frozen.

Pair with Homemade Fresh Citrus Margaritas or strawberry lime basil sangria.

The post My Best Mexican Recipes with Low Carb Options appeared first on Spinach Tiger.

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.

The post Keto Green Chicken Enchiladas Recipe appeared first on Spinach Tiger.

One of the best recipes I’ve put on the blog   is one for grain free tortillas. Since I’ve published these keto spinach tortillas, it has gone to my top ten out of 1100 recipes every week.

The flavor is subtle, the color is beautiful and the tortilla is pliable. This  Keto spinach tortillas recipe makes 8 tortillas, you can use for enchiladas, tacos and wraps. They store well in the freezer and I recommend making a double batch because if you’re following a low calorie (98 calories) or low carb (2 net carbs) diet, you will make these at least weekly to have as a staple.

I made these on a whim when I wanted to make green enchiladas and just happened to have fresh spinach in the house. I threw a big handful  of raw baby spinach into a food processor with some almond flour and got a gorgeous green mixture. This was a very happy development.

I laugh to myself wondering why I don’t have 100 spinach recipes here, as I am the Spinach Tiger.  If you’re wondering how I got the name, it was christened from a friend who said “she’s a real spinach tiger” in a lively debate. I knew it that moment it was a name I was suppose to embrace and about a year later, it became my blog name. It seems to fit my food view perfectly and almost ten years later, I’m still here and I’m glad you are too.

This recipe for grain free keto spinach tortillas is very similar to my regular grain free tortilla, which is a serious staple in our kitchen.

You’ll need a few things to make these, but it will be a wise investment. I am very conscientious about products I recommend, as I don’t like gadgets or wasting my money or your money.

If you ever have questions about the products I recommend, please contact me at angela@spinachtiger.com.

Kitchen Tools and Ingredients needed for the Keto Spinach Tortillas

All of these can be found at my Amazon Shop, which earn a small commission, but do not increase prices. I’ve also linked them in the recipe for your convenience.

• Tortilla Press. You could roll them out, but to get a uniform shape, this is worth it.
• Pre-Cut Parchment papers. (trust me).
• Blanched Superfine Almond Flour.  
• Coconut Flour
• Xanthan Gum (do NOT skip this ingredient. You can’t make the grain free spinach tortillas without them). They will stick to the parchment paper and you’ll hate me. You only use a small amount, so this investment will have a big return.
• Food Processor
• Golden Flax Meal
• Chia Seeds  (optional, but I always use them).

Additional ingredients include white vinegar, an egg  and baking soda, (which you’ll probably have on hand.)

Once you make the tortillas, you’ll want to make this chicken enchiladas recipes.

The post Grain Free Keto Spinach Tortillas Recipe appeared first on Spinach Tiger.

We eat salmon at least once a week, because of all the proteins we could pick, this is the seven minute dinner that can be made in a number of ways. I’ve shown you many salmon recipes in the past, including my most recent salmon with pasta, cauliflower and olives.

When I was asked to partner with the National Salmon Council, I wanted to show you the easiest, most reliable way to get the best-tasting salmon in less than 10 minutes. I wanted to create a fun, family-friendly recipe to be fun, that brought out the best of salmon, while being a little unique.

I imagined vibrant colors of the rainbow and salmon tacos with tomato mango salsa popped into my head, and then onto this tray.

Easy Salmon Tacos are Slow Food Fast

Salmon tacos are easy and adaptable to your own taste. For example, I leave out anything spicy when I’m serving kids, but they tend to love the tomato mango salsa.

Salmon tacos are slow food fast, made in a matter of minutes and still so good for you. The salsa can be made in advance, and all you’ll need is seven minutes to pan-sear perfect salmon (I promise). I like to pan-sear the salmon on one side (skin side down) for two minutes in a hot pan and then put in the oven for five minutes. This is my basic salmon recipe from which many recipes can be created.

The biggest thing I hear from people is their apprehension to cook salmon or to cook fish indoors. Let me put all this to rest and tell you, once you cook salmon properly, meaning not overcooking, you’ll be making it every week and it’s not that fish that makes a house fishy.

Tomato Mango Salsa with Avocado, Red Onion, Cilantro

Mangoes love tomatoes and avocado. Be prepared to swoon over this combination and probably eat it out of the bowl (like we did). Red onion and cilantro bring these three ingredients together in perfect harmony that brings just the right amount of excitement to fish tacos. Sometimes, instead of cilantro, I use fresh basil for the salsa. Always make recipes your own!

Make sure your mangoes and avocados are ripe, but not too ripe. I buy my mangoes when they have a slight give, but not too much. Conversely, I buy my avocados rock hard, then ripen them myself. I explain why in this post, how to ripen avocados.

Cut the mango, by first holding it vertically and cutting the cheeks of the mango, avoiding the inner seed. Then cut crosswise and lengthwise, not cutting through to the skin. Then slide the knife close to the skin under the cubes.

When cutting the tomato, squeeze off a little of the juice and seeds. If you use Roma tomatoes, you won’t have an issue. Cut a very small dice.

Avocados are a superfood and healthy fat that do well with a bit of acid and salt, and when paired with a sweet fruit like a mango, it’s incredible. I peel my avocados first and then cut into a dice.

Red onion, plenty of cilantro, a touch of syrupy balsamic, and sea salt bring it all together. Shredded purple cabbage adds a little crunch, and a little color.

I suggest flour tortillas or my easy made from scratch grain free low carb tortillas (shown in the picture).

Salmon Tacos – Superfood and Eating the Rainbow

Salmon is a superfood that we should eat at least once a week. Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids, EPA and DHA, salmon is loaded with selenium, potassium and is anti-inflammatory. Mangoes promote eye health, facilitate digestion and aid in lowering cholesterol and have a low glycemic count, not spiking blood sugar. Avocados are known universally for their “good fat” and red cabbage has amazing antioxidant properties.

Salmon is usually a signature dish we serve to company. We always get rave reviews, whether we pan-sear or cook on the grill with this technique. In all honesty, I jumped at the opportunity to partner with the Salmon Council, because there is never a time salmon is not in our freezer. It’s my go to for a post-workout lunch and part of my overall low-carb lifestyle.

From a reader:

“The Perfect blend of ingredients….just did a batch and they turned out great….thanks from a keto lifestyler.”

I tested six batches to bring you an almond flour tortilla I was proud to share with you. This is going to be one of those recipes you will come back to get again and again, so I suggest pinning or bookmarking right away.

If you eat a ketogenic diet or a gluten free diet, you will be thrilled, for a number of reasons.

These are easy to make, are low-cost, and they have a wonderful texture that holds together with messy stuffings, and freezes well.

I wouldn’t dream of bringing you such a basic item, unless I tested and retested to make sure of your success.

On the first four batches, I thought they were just okay. They worked; they did the job. But I still wasn’t satisfied.

Then we had carnitas party and my husband brought home corn chips with chia and flax. I didn’t want to eat those very delicious chips and as I kept staring at the package, the lightbulb went on.

Add chia and flax and see what happens!

My Friends Agree: These are Amazing Grain Free Tortillas

I then tested on my friends. I have one friend in particular who strictly follows the keto diet and she was over the moon.

I had two other friends who don’t follow a low-carb diet, but wanted to know more about grain free living. I invited them for lunch. They loved them and immediately texted me for the recipe when they got home.

I am as excited about these as I am about my grain free biscuits. I know that when people are following a low-carb diet they miss certain foods and that’s when too often the diet goes away. These make a keto or lower carb life very livable.

They are so easy to make. I put all the ingredients in my kitchen aid mixer, but you can use a food processor. I use this tortilla press (amazon link) to make the perfect rounds with these parchment papers.

Please Pin

 Grain Free Tortillas are Keto Friendly at only 1 Net Carb

The good news is not only is the texture right, they are only 1 net carb, and 52 calories.  They will provide much needed fiber, another big plus, as many folks following a low-carb diet don’t get enough fiber.

Get the recipe for grilled chicken breasts here, and  red cabbage salad here. 

You Can Freeze Grain Free Tortillas

You can have tortillas whenever you want, because you can freeze these. Wrap in plastic, with parchment in between. Microwave frozen for 15 seconds. I tested this and they return to their pliable and tasty original form. If you don’t like microwaves, leave out and reheat on a cast iron griddle or frying pan.

Now all you have to do is think of ways to use these.

You Can Make These Egg Free

You Can Make Grain Free Tortillas Egg Free if  you have allergies. I made a test batch without an egg and increased the water. They came out fine, which is good news for people with egg sensitivities.

Equipment

• Tortilla Press

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour 96 grams
• 3 tablespoons coconut flour 21 grams
• 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon golden flax meal
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 teaspoons chia seeds
• 3 tablespoons water may need another teaspoon
• 2 teaspoons vinegar I use either apple cider or white balsamic
• 1 egg

Kitchen Tools

• Tortilla Press
• Parchment Rounds
• Griddle

Instructions

• Mix all dry ingredients together.
• Add vinegar, water, egg to mixture.
• Mix in either a mixer or food processor. I use a mixer and mix until well incorporated.
• Allow to rest for twenty minutes.
• Heat a cast iron griddle to high.
• Divide into 8 rounds. (this comes to about 29 grams each). I weigh mine out. This makes for a very uniform stack.
• Use two parchment paper rounds for bottom and top and press out each tortilla. If you don’t have a press, you can roll out, but you will need to use parchment paper. If you want 8 tortillas, roll out to about 4 1/2 inches across.
• Cook first tortilla for 30 seconds. Turn over for about 5 to 10 seconds.
• It’s time now to lower to medium high. You may need to adjust cooking temperature as you get through the stack. You want the to get a little golden like the picture, but not browned. You don’t want to overcook.

Did you know that sometimes two completely different things make one perfect thing? When you put a mango and a grapefruit together, it’s magic, and a burst of different texture and flavor that accompanies shrimp splendidly.

I developed this recipe for shrimp tacos for Tortilla Land a few years ago,  and thought it was time to share this recipe with you. I used raw tortillas (which by now you know I prefer), but you could of course, use your own favorite tortilla.

I’ve used shrimp, but you could substitute with grilled fish, fried fish or even spicy chicken.

My Favorite Shrimp Taco Recipe

First I marinated the shrimp and then grilled them.

Marinate shrimp in olive oil, lime juice and salt. Don’t over marinate or the shrimp will become mushy. Feel free to add in a touch of cilantro.

Now it’s just a matter of what cocktail you’ll be serving this shrimp taco recipe.  Last week I made this amazing avocado margarita that would be just perfect. Or perhaps a mango sangria is your choice.

Please let me know if you have a cocktail that would pair well with these tacos.
