INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
CAULIFLOWER:
- We utilize cooked cauliflower instead of potatoes because it provides a similar soft texture while keeping the sopes low in carbohydrates. As a substitute, you can use finely grated zucchini with the excess moisture removed.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour will provide structure and help create a firm, tender sope base. As a substitute, you can use sunflower seed flour.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- Mozzarella helps bind the mixture and gives the sopes a soft, cheesy texture.
CHORIZO:
- We utilize sugar-free keto chorizo for its spicy and savory flavor. As a replacement, you can use seasoned ground beef or ground pork.
AVOCADO:
- Avocado provides creamy texture and healthy fats. You can replace it with keto-friendly guacamole.
SOUR CREAM:
- Full-fat sour cream adds a creamy and tangy topping. You can substitute unsweetened full-fat Greek yogurt.
JALAPEÑO, CILANTRO, AND LIME:
- These ingredients add fresh, spicy, and bright flavors. You can adjust the jalapeño according to your preferred spice level.
