Keto Pulled Pork Tostadas

8 ratings

Taco nights are the best! This delicious coffee and chili-rubbed pulled pork basically cooks itself in the oven or on the stovetop while you go about your weekend. If you’d prefer to make the pork in a slow cooker, brown the meat if you can (not essential, but encouraged!) and then add the pork to the crockpot with a cup of water and set it on low for 6-8 hours. The pork is piled on delicious low-carb almond flax tortillas that can be eaten flat or rolled up. Top these tostadas with your favorite toppings like salsa, avocado, sour cream and cheese.

Recipe Steps

steps 6

4 h 20 min

  • Step 1

    Cut the pork butt into two inch cubes.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Mix 1 Tbsp. chili powder, ground coffee, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. onion powder, paprika, cumin, cayenne, 1.5 tsp. salt and juice from half of a lime in a large bowl, and toss pork cubes in it.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Heat a pot over medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the pork in batches, allowing them to brown for about 1 minute on each side. Flip the cubes over and set aside once browned. Add the pork back to the pot and water so that the pork is almost covered.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Allow the pot to come to a boil, then reduce the heat so the water is just simmering and cover the pot. You can allow the meat to cook on the stovetop over low heat, or place the pot with the cover on in a 300 degree oven. Allow the pork to cook for about 3.5 hours, then remove the lid and cook for another 30 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and allow to cool, then shred the meat.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    While the meat is cooking, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the flaxseed, coconut flour, almond flour, baking soda, eggs, ¼ tsp. garlic powder, ¼ tsp. onion powder, and ¼ tsp. salt. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush a little olive oil over it. Carefully spoon the batter out and spread it out with a spoon. Repeat until the sheet pan is full. Bake the tortillas at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes, or until they are just browned.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Spoon the shredded pork in the center of the tortillas. Top with salsa, sliced avocado, cilantro and cheese if you’d like!
    Step 6

    So it asks for egg whites and eggs BT baking the tortillas doesn’t specify which one to use…?? And coffee grounds then brewed coffee?

    May tortilla batter is so thick. Anyone added a little bit of water to thin it out?

        This was really good. I added cheddar cheese, jd leroy dippin sauce,and sour cream. It was very tastey. My tortillas looked funny but tasted good. Thank you for this addition to my keto arsenal!

              1st choice I'd use Chuck roast more fat and flavor 2nd a Rump, bottom Round roast with a fair amount of fat which may be a little more difficult because it's a leaner cut of meat.

              That's how I read it too. Maybe lettuce wraps would be a better way to enjoy them?

            The ingredients list says brewed coffee (1 tsp). The pictures and my minimal experience suggests dry coffee grounds as part of the rub. Could you please clarify?

              Made a pork shoulder in the one pot. Took 30 minutes and turned out great! I was skeptical about the tortillas but they were really good!

                      It typically makes 6 tortillas but it will make more if you make them a bit smaller!
