What is in pesto sauce?

Pesto sauce is typically made with lots and lots of basil along with olive oil, parmesan cheese, and pine nuts. In many cases, substitutions are made in pesto sauce whether you’re making it yourself or buying it in a jar. That being said, always stay cautious of any allergens you may have by checking the ingredients list in any recipe or packaging.

Make your own pesto sauce

Want to make your own pesto sauce with fewer ingredients? Blend together basil, extra virgin olive oil, parmesan cheese, and a little salt to make a quick mock-pesto. You can also follow this recipe on Carb Manager to make your own: Keto Pesto Sauce. For a healthier version of pesto sauce, add other green vegetables to the blended sauce like broccoli or spinach.

Where can I get store-bought tortillas?

Your local grocery store or some larger-chain stores may carry Keto products. Look for tortillas with the words ‘Keto’ or ‘Low Carb’ right on the packaging. Then, check the nutrition label and ingredients list. Most Keto tortillas should only have between 4 grams and 6 grams of net carbs per serving. Keto tortillas may not be gluten-free, but they should be made with almond flour or other alternative baking ingredients.
