PIN Twenty-Five+ Healthy Low-Carb Mexican Food Dinners for Cinco de Mayo!

You probably couldn’t help but notice that I’m a huge fan of Mexican food around here, and through the years I’ve made so many tasty low-carb favorites with those flavors. And Cinco de Mayo is next weekend, so it’s time to plan the menu! There’s nothing I like more than a good excuse to eat Mexican food for a whole week, so for the occasion I’m updating my collection of Twenty-Five+ Healthy Low-Carb Mexican Food Dinners for Cinco de Mayo.

I’ve divided the favorite Low-Carb Mexican Food Recipes into two categories: Low-Carb and Gluten-Free Mexican Food Dinners and Low-Carb But Not Gluten-Free Mexican Food Dinners (that use low-carb tortillas). Hopefully there’ll be something for everyone in this collection!

All these Mexican food dinners are favorites that I bet your family will like. And I promise I won’t tell if you decide to make one of them right away before Cinco de Mayo gets here; enjoy! If you still want more Mexican Food yumminess, check after the photos for more round-ups of Low-Carb and Keto Mexican Food from around the web!
