6 INGREDIENT KETO BREAKFAST TORTILLAS

These Keto wraps are made with eggs instead of flour, and are even easier to make than pancakes! They also taste better because they have that Peri-Peri zing to them! Use the flavor you love the best to add your spin to this recipe, but please note – the Medium and Hot flavors are our most keto – friendly. With very low carbs, and packed with protein, healthy fats and leafy greens, this recipe is a Keto power package. Make for brunch on the weekend for friends; make one at a time each day; or make a batch of wraps and sausages for the week, then warm and assemble every morning for breakfast on-the-go. To make this recipe even easier, you can substitute the whole eggs for liquid eggs, and the avocado for ready-made guacamole.

DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY: Easy
PREPARATION TIME: 20 mins
SERVINGS: 1 serving
TOTAL CARBS: 15g
NET CARBS: 12g

INGREDIENTS:
Keto tortillas:
1/3 Cup liquid eggs, or 2 extra large eggs per wrap; Salt and pepper; Olive oil, to prevent sticking

Filling:
1 Chicken sausage per wrap
1⁄4 Ripe avocado
3 Tablespoons cream cheese
1 Tablespoon of Nando’s Peri Peri sauce, in the flavor of your choice.
1⁄2 Cup baby spinach (1/2 US oz or 15g)

DIRECTIONS

1. Cook your sausage/s according to the package directions.
2. Heat up a 6 inch (15cm) frying pan to a medium high heat. You need to use a good quality, non-stick frying pan for this recipe!
3. Whisk your eggs in a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Add a teaspoon of olive oil to the pan and swirl to coat; repeat for each wrap to prevent sticking.
5. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and swirl the pan to coat the entire bottom – as if you are making a crepe. The egg should only just coat the bottom of the pan.
6. Cook for 15-20 seconds, until the egg has set, then use a spatula to carefully flip the wrap.
7. Cook for another 10 seconds, then remove from the heat. Place the wrap on a clean kitchen towel and cover with a second one.
8. This will keep the wrap soft and roll-able. Mix the cream cheese and Nando’s Peri-Peri sauce together with a fork.
9. In another bowl, mash your avocado with a pinch of salt and pepper.
10. To assemble, spread your Peri- Peri cream cheese across the middle of the wrap, then spoon on the avocado. Add the spinach leaves, then the sausage and roll up like a tortilla.
11. Add more lashings of Peri-Peri sauce to taste and enjoy!

Slow-cooker Keto chilli

Beef mince chilli is a really keto-friendly meal! Apart from the beans of course, but this chilli is so hearty and tasty you won’t even miss them: Kale adds as much fibre and nutrients, without those pesky carbs, and you won’t even notice it’s there. Enjoy as chilli or as Bolognese sauce over zoodles.

DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY: Medium
PREP TIME: 20 min prep, 8 hour cook
SERVINGS: 4
Carbs: 19g
Net Carbs: 11g

INGREDIENTS:
Chilli
1lb/454g Ground beef chuck 85% fat
7oz/200g Red onion, diced
6oz/175g (half) Green bell pepper, diced
6 oz/175g Celery, sliced
1 Cup (2.5oz/70g) Chopped kale
5.8oz/165g Peri Peri sauce in the flavor of your choice
2 Tablespoons tomato paste
2 Tablespoons Basil pesto
2 Tablespoons paprika
2 Tablespoons cinnamon
Salt and pepper
Optional toppings
Sliced green onions
Avocado
Sour cream
Shredded sharp cheddar

DIRECTIONS

1. In a non-stick pan, brown the onion and the mince over a medium high heat. Use a wooden spoon to break the mince apart.
2. When the mince is brown, put it in your slow cooker, I used a small 3 qt size which is more than big enough for this recipe. Add all the other ingredients too: Pepper, celery, Kale, Peri Peri sauce, tomato paste, basil pesto, paprika and cinnamon.
3. Pour in just enough water to cover the ingredients. Remember that water doesn’t evaporate in a slow cooker, so all the liquid you put in will be there at the end- so just put in enough to cover.
4. Cook on the low setting for 8 hours, or 4 hours on the high setting.
5. Season to taste and serve with the toppings of your choice.

Everything Nando does is rooted in PERi-PERi

IT’S A PEPPER

PERi-PERi, also known as the African Bird’s Eye Chilli, is the key to our legendary, flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken. It’s grown in the African soil, so the magic starts from the ground up. It tastes amazing, but the benefits don’t stop there:

• PERi-PERi chilli seeds are rich in Vitamins A, B, and C.
• They also have capsaicin, which enhances mood: your pupils dilate, your metabolic rate increases, and there’s a rush of endorphins when you consume it!
• PERi-PERi is a natural preservative that prevents us from adding weird or unnatural ingredients to our sauces.
