Low Carb Enchiladas

I love Mexican dishes, but as a vegetarian on a low-carb diet, it can be a challenge trying to create a Mexican meal from beans.

But, I'm nothing if not persistant. I wanted a low carb enchilada that was filled with low carb chilli, so that is what I made. The secret to these is the choice of beans. Often in Mexican cooking you will use kidney beans and pinto beans. These are both high carb beans with low fibre. But the haricot bean, that's only 2g net carbs per 400g can. Perfect!

Low Carb Pizza - Dominos-Style Pizza

These low-carb pizzas taste just like a Dominos takeaway to me. You can make them however you like as meats and cheese have negligible carbs. You can also make a lot of them and freeze them for cooking later to make some quick, easy meals for the future. A great addition to a low carb diet.

You can also make smaller versions with a lower carb count. This recipe is based on making four 9" pizzas for 9.5g carbs per pizza.
