If you’re as big of a fan of Mexican and Tex-Mex food as I am, I encourage you to check out our collection of easy keto Tex-Mex recipes.

Keto Mexican Skillet

It’s no secret that Mexican or Tex-Mex food is prevalent in our family. Before we made keto and low carb our lifestyle, most of the time, special dinners were at our favorite Mexican restaurant.

I’ve also been known to say, on many occasions, “I love all Mexican food,” and I mean ALL, from fast food to authentic. I can’t get enough.

Unfortunately, many of the fantastic dishes I love are way too high in carbs. However, I don’t let that stop me from having my favorite foods!

I’ve been finding ways to have the bold, citrus-fresh, and spicy flavors of Mexican food for years.

My cooking isn’t much different than my mom’s (Hilda). It’s always packed full of flavor and, usually, at least a little spicy.

What can I say? We love our spice! But don’t fear; I’ve made sure to make the heat optional in this keto taco skillet.

Mexican One-Pan Keto Dinner

The keto cheesy Mexican skillet has been one of the many ways I’ve come up with my favorite flavors while staying in ketosis.

This one-pan, casserole-like dish is so incredibly easy to make and extremely delicious.

I’ll be honest: I wasn’t sure how to classify this favorite meal. Is it a casserole, skillet, or taco bake? In the end, what I would call this is delicious!

What’s so great about this keto taco casserole is that it’s customizable to what you and your family like (or what you have in your fridge currently).

The base of this low-carb taco skillet is ground beef, cauliflower rice, tomatoes, and cheese, which are all cooked in a single cast-iron skillet.

I made my skillet with ground beef, but you could easily use ground turkey, shredded chicken, or steak! 

I don’t know about you, but when it comes to figuring out what to make for dinner, it has to be something easy, especially if it’s a weeknight meal!

Simplicity and speed are crucial. The idea of creating something that requires a lot of complicated steps or uncommon ingredients doesn’t thrill me.

Easy Taco Casserole With Cauliflower Rice

One of the best parts of this dish is that you can “sneak” in tons of veggies! I’m a huge fan of cooking with lots of greens and vegetables, and this is the perfect dish for those who don’t like to eat their vegetables.

My grandmother wasn’t a huge fan of leafy greens, and whenever I made soup for her, she always said (in Spanish), “And what is all this grass?”

And I always told her, “When I’m cooking, you’re going to have to eat the greens because it’s good for you.”

She always leaves them behind and tells me to “respect her grays.” A loving warning to remember she’s Grandma and will eat what she wants.

That’s when we resorted to blending her soup to make sure she was getting the nutrients she needed, even if she didn’t know it.

That’s the beauty of this Mexican skillet: everything is chopped up and mixed, and no one notices the vegetables! The last time I made this, my husband was surprised when I told him it was full of veggies.

Oh, the magic of cheese and Mexican spices!
