Tacos de Alambre | Keto Taco Meat Recipe

Tacos de Alambre is a popular Mexican dish that consists of meat, bacon, bell peppers, onions, cheese, salsa, and on occasion, some people like to use avocado.

This dish is traditionally served with grilled beef and all the ingredients listed above. However, any meat can be substituted. As you can see, I've used chicken instead of grilled beef.

Not only is chicken cheaper but, it's leaner and many people prefer not to eat red meats.

Can I freeze Chicken Tacos de Alambre?

This dish doesn't freeze well once you've added the cheese. If you would like to save it for later by freezing it, you can make it without the cheese.

Freeze it, and upon reheating it, add the cheese then. Be sure to freeze it in a freezer-friendly container for best results.
