This may very well be the best Keto, Low Carb recipe that I have created. Of course, I’m partial to this dessert in particular probably because it is my latest creation. This Keto Cinnamon Cheesecake Chimichangas recipe may be one of the easiest Keto, Low carb recipes to make.
The easiest part of this recipe is the tortillas. In the past, I have made a variety of Keto doughs and rolled them out and fought with them to create a thin bread. But, since I have found these low carb tortillas they have saved my diet.
Most of the time I do not have time to make Keto doughs or Keto biscuits, but I have found a variety of different brands that sell Low Carb tortillas. Some as low as 2 net carbs per tortillas and with a low calorie number too, those individuals who are Strict Keto probably won’t use these tortillas, but the filling in this recipe could be put inside a Keto dough. Which would be just as delicious.
For this recipe I have chosen Swerve Confectioners and a granular Pyure sweetener, but you can use any brand of sweeteners that you like. These are 2 of my favorites, but any sweetener will work in this recipe.
Another idea for these chimichangas is to add strawberries inside the tortilla or add some strawberries to the top and whipped topping.
A delicious low carb dessert that has 5 net carbs. Plus, it takes only minutes from start to finish.

Keto Tips
No fruit, unless it’s berries in moderation…
No wheat
No sugar
No grains
No pasta
No potatoes
No rice
No beans
No starches
No milk as it’s loaded with sugar. ( unsweetened almond milk is recommended.)
HWC (Heavy whipping cream) is good in coffee or whatever you would like to use it for.
Meat, cheese, eggs, vegetable, nuts, and healthy fats. It’s simple. Stick to that, and you should be ok!
Vegetables that should be avoided are…
Sweet potatoes
Corn
Peas
Potatoes
Carrots – can be used in moderation, just don’t go over board. They are full of starches and not recommended.
Make sure to drink half your body weight In oz of water as well if you aren’t getting the adequate amount of water it can be bad for your kidneys! This applies for all forms of keto.
Do not forget your electrolytes, they are needed daily.
A good form of electrolytes is:
Powerade zero
Pickle juice
Pink Himalayan salt added to your food
Strict keto – counts all macros, do not eat processed foods.
Lazy keto – doesn’t track all macros, still eats processed foods, as long as they are on plan
Macros are a break down of the calories you intake for the day. Which should be…
5% carbs
20% protein
75% fat
Carb manager is a great app to track macros
Carbs are a limit – try not to go over your carb limit.
Fat is a lever – you don’t have to meet your fat macro, it’s simply there to help you get full.
Protein is a goal- try your best to reach your protein goal, but try not to go over. Excessive amounts of protein can cause you to stall in weight loss.
Anything other than this food group selection would be considered low carb. Also, if you are in ketosis, and eat outside of this food group not only could it take you out of ketosis, but it could spike your blood sugar! Which can make you sick.
Hope this helps.
