Layers of all your favorite Mexican dip ingredients in a low-carb, keto Mexican casserole. Grab a fork and dig in, it’s Muy Bueno! Don’t build a wall, let alllllll the flavor in.
I nixed all the carby accessories in this five-layer keto Mexican casserole which can be used as a dip with your favorite veggies or Cheddar Cheese Chips, but it makes for a fresh dinner salad all by itself, too! It calls for my Golden Taco Seasoning recipe, however, you can use your own taco seasoning of choice if you don’t have the time to make your own.
