Healthy Version of Chipotle’s Beef Barbacoa

Leave a comment

When I weighed 325 lbs. I loved going to Chipotle. I couldn’t get enough of their beef barbacoa. Once I made the decision to go low carb I said goodbye to Chipotle and never looked back. Oh sure, I could have just had the amazing pulled beef over lettuce rather than rice to cut back on the barbs. Well that my friends means 27g vs. 61g of carbs. Not worth it.

However, with a little creativity, that doesn’t mean I can’t make my own deliciously healthy and LCHF-friendly beef barbacoa.

This dish is so tasty it requires 2 videos. The first is for a smokey salsa — a key ingredient for the spicy & smokey beef dish. Or just plain tasty with LCHF “chips” and cut veggies.

The second, of course, is for the beef barbacoa itself.

Next time I’m going to try it with a green-salsa.

Enjoy!
