Wes, I really enjoy your channel- your presentation is great, you are like a friend sharing a recipe, warm, fun and relatable. Believe me, I've seen some annoying videos- too much talking off topic, girls fluffing their hair and posing, guys making a mess, bad recording and so on. But YOU should have a show on the Food Network. Your personality really comes across as warm and genuine. Thanks for all your hard work and a great channel.
Thanks Wes!! I'm absolutely honored to be featured on your channel after being a fan for years! And umm, about my original chef... Let's just say he's a bit plastic (spoiler alert) and retired😂🤣 You made my coffee time this morning better than Folgers!! 😁 Thanks again for the spotlight. We value your reviews and honesty so much. Have a blessed day
Thanks for putting out such great content and recipes! Your channel seems to have lots of fun and interesting ideas, and I can’t wait to try out more. Thanks for being a good sport about being featured. I don’t usually let a creator know when I’ve selected one of their recipes to test - just to keep things fun and fair. I knew you’d be back around soon to see it! 🙂🧡 Looking forward to seeing more from you!
I wonder if you could put the soft taco shell batter in a squeeze bottle and squeeze it out onto the hot pan in a spiral shape, then fill the gaps in with the spatula. That might make it a little thinner but still soft.
My recommendation for tasteless pork rinds: #1 - Clancy's (Aldi house brand); #2 - Great Value (Walmart house brand). I always buy the "original" flavor (salt being the only seasoning), but other flavors you like could have recipe uses also. You can freeze the crumbs for storage to reduce the flavor even more, but freezing will ruin the texture of whole pieces for snack eating.
San Diego hint: Lucky Seafood in Mira Mesa has several brands of ground pork skin. I've come to learn Luck Seafood is a Vietnamese grocery store, H-Mart is Korean, 99 Ranch is Chinese Taiwanese and Seafood City is Phillipino. At H-Maret they have packages of thin sliced daikon radish wrap. They are crunchy and perfect size for a street taco or a nice wrap. they are about 3 calories per serving
Steve, from Serious Keto, did a carnivore pancake recipe using pork panko (crushed pork rinds). I made them as waffles and they turned out fantastic. I played with it, leaving out the vanilla and sweetener, adding some garlic and yeast (for flavor), and it made a great pizza crust. I had to eat it with a fork but it was still one of the best low carb/keto pizzas I've had. I'm sure this recipe would make a great crust too.
As usual, I didn't have the exact ingredients on hand (never seem to). I experimented. No sliced cheese but I spread a small amount of shredded low moisture mozzarella into a 6-ish" circle and added the pork rinds then cooked as directed in the microwave. It came out beautifully and actually held up even better than a crisp corn shell all the way to the last bite. I"m going to do it again for dinner (I only made one, I never make a full recipe the first time). Took a frozen burger patty out, fried it up with Pork King Good taco seasoning, added that to the shell along with sour cream seasoned with some True Citrus cilantro/lime/garlic, and a small pile of pickled onions and fresh cilantro. This was an honestly good crispy taco and I'll definitely do it again....like for dinner!
Wes, just fyi - you may not like cast iron but I recently got a non-stick cast iron skillet from KitchenHQ. Inexpensive and it really is nonstick- so easy to clean. Got it from HSN.
I just bought the skillet with your link since I am getting a new induction stove next week and have no non stick skillets to use on it. Your video popped up at just the right time. I will definitely try those crunchy taco shells when it comes. Thank you!
Excellent! It’s a beautiful pan, as silky as that may sound. Someone else commented here that they have the same one and it still looks brand new! Thanks for watching and commenting!
My expensive Xtrema ceramic pan just cracked yesterday - ya, supposedly non-toxic but heavy like cast iron, and only 6 months old! So your rec for the Made In products is quite timely 😍 I also LOVE the fact that they're made in USA, UK, Italy & France. Honestly I just don't trust things made in China anymore! I do have some concern about the non-stick coating though - is it safe?
It’s truly a beautiful pan! Someone else commented here that they also have the same pan and theirs still looks brand new and they love it as well. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yay I will definitely be trying the crunchy ones! And did I hear the magic words “almost weekly”? Your videos got me started on my keto journey and seeing you more often would be amazing❤
Would you try Chris Cooking with Nashville’s 2.0 updated tortilla recipe? I love crunchy taco shells myself, but with my age I definitely can’t over do the cheese/dairy, but would love to try them for occasional treats! Thank you, Wes, for making these fantastic recipes for us to try!
@@cheffatgrams Indeed, it is my pleasure! Your channel is fabulous! I have learned a lot of techniques from you and your recipes keep me on track for my health!
Both look great. I do struggle with the smell of pork rinds but enjoy the taste and crunch so will give these a try. I'll be curious to hear if you use the soft in your enchilada recipe or for pizza. I use gnom gnom tortillas as my pizza base and it works well.
Hi Wes Super great to see you I hope that you’re well ,you sure look great I love using pork grinds for many different recipes they sure make the low carb lifestyle versatile Be well Thank you for your great tip and link to the very delicious coffee Absolutely love the freshly roasted amazing flavor of the coffee
I would have tried an offset spatula to spread out the batter and as you said make the batter thinner. They seem to be too thick for lasagna noodles, maybe if the batter is thinner. For people that don't care for pork rinds maybe beef or chicken flour or grind up chicken or beef crisps.
For crunchy shells, I suppose that one could take shredded cheese and add the ground pork to it, put an amount on the parchment paper and place it in the microwave. It seems that method might take a lot less time , make a less crumbly mess and have a better outcome. I'll try it later today and let you know.
My thought exactly! I make parmesan "whisps" out of cheap (well, nowadays that's relative) shredded parmesan in the square 24 oz. plastic jar from Sam's on parchment paper lined microwave safe plate, 1/4 oz (7 gm) per little patty, nuked for a minute or more until very lightly tanned. NOTHING could be crispier! But adding some rind crumbs could up the ante. I also make pepperoni crisps the same way in the microwave, dropping a little pile of parm shreds on each one before nuking. They are so good for dipping in maranara.
there is a pork rind plus egg white recipe by Chef Fat Grams that is pretty special as well, especially if you have either a monster size flat flipper....or the electric tortilla maker (I bought it and it gets a very crunchy shell once microwaved).
Thanks so much, yup my Newer Carnivore version made with my tortilla can be made into the chip, tostadas and hard shell tacos. Are you a pro with that electric tortilla press yet?😊
@@truthinthefaceoftyranny Awesome, I use my rind flour ones for mainly my Tex-Mex dishes. The nut flour ones are good on just about anything and the seed flour ones make amazing wraps😁
I have re-made this recently he is referring to my original recipe😁 This recipe was created after my first recipe which was a keto lunchable in 2018. The cracker was amazing so I used my idea to create this taco shell😊 You actually get to see the original Chef in the video and me speaking in a tone that might put you to sleep😂🤣
@@cheffatgrams you too funny... one of your tones put me to sleep!! I didn't realize it was an older recipe, however I still love it- I also got the electric tortilla press, and love it as well... blessings
@@HighfalutinLowCarb This channel has helped the community and content creators more than you know Wes. “A rising tide lifts all boats” -JFK- and that’s what you do
Thanks so much Kathy🤗 It made my day when I found out Wes featured one of my recipes 🎉 Y’alls support in the comments is just icing on the cake😊😊😊 Hope you had a wonderful day
I like pork rinds. My issue with them is they tend to get stuck in my throat. lol. I don’t know…they gum up or something. 😆 I prefer using them as “bread crumbs” in frying and/or baking recipes. Thanks for testing these recipes out, Wes. You’re the best!
Interesting. Would they go by another baker there, by chance? They aren’t overly-popular here, and in some parts of the country, people can only find them in gas stations as “road trip snacks.” Haha!
Wes, there is a mexican girl who has her own tortilla business. I just came from her channel and I think it looks hella-legit. I do not have the chillies necessary, but have a press. Pinche Nancy English, she has a spanish channel as well. Her tortillas look pretty good. She has a keto tortilla recipe that makes 12 restaurant sized tortillas with 0.8 carbs each. Can be fried to make tostadas. AF, psyllium, xanthan gum, spices, chillies etc.
Love a good pork rind recipe. Do you think that first one would make a good pancake (maybe swap the cumin for cinnamon)? I’m allergic to all nut flower unfortunately :(
I have a carnivore tortilla that matches that description and if you like enchiladas, you will not find a better 0 carb substitute tortilla😊 hope you have a great day.
The amount of fear that went thru my body when I seen your reflection in the cook top was tremendous lol it looked like a face at the bottom of my tv lmbo
Great video. I cannot find theprimitivepalate with your link and I need the recipe so I can try the soft tortillas! I don’t want to guess and possibly waste ingredients. Help please!

Wes, can you please give the exact measurements as it seems the primitive palate’s web page is gone. I made them once before and loved them (actually made a burrito sized tortilla and it was perfect!).
Ha! I mentioned a bit about it, but wound up cutting it out of the video to save time. It’s just the side if a cardboard box cut to size and wrapped in a piece of aluminum foil. Folded it a few times accordion style and put a piece of tape along the bottom to keep it standing. Easy-peasy! :-)

I use AlaMadre corn tortillas and they are so good I can't tell the difference from the regular ones. For flour I use La Tortilla Factory low carb tortillas. Both taste so good it's hard to believe they are really low carb and if the net carbs are true I no longer see the need to try to make any other version. Do you or any of your viewers have an opinion???? Is it too good to be true???
They spike blood glucose and all the added fiber causes (ahem) digestive issues for me. I am able to use the Mr Tortilla street taco sized tortillas (3 Chiles flavor is best with my glucose and tummy).
@@Lucinda_Jackson Thanks so much for sharing this info. I need to find out if they also spike my blood glucose. I am ok on the digestive situation, but concerned that they may stop my weight loss. I need to get a glucose tester.
Don't do Facebook. You can't talk freely there! Nice video. Do a tortilla challenge with recipes that use lupin flour and gluten possibly. I'm looking for them.
Try KetoFocus. She has gorgeous tortillas made with a combo of almond flour and lupin flour. They're gluten free. She has a website and she did a video on her UA-cam channel in Jan 2023. I love her and her recipes.

I would have tried an offset spatula to spread out the batter and as you said make the batter thinner. They seem to be too thick for lasagna noodles, maybe if the batter is thinner. For people that don't care for pork rinds maybe beef or chicken flour or grind up chicken or beef crisps.
These I will have to try. Thanks for doing this. Love the way you explain how to do it and give an honest opinion. You are awesome.
For crunchy shells, I suppose that one could take shredded cheese and add the ground pork to it, put an amount on the parchment paper and place it in the microwave. It seems that method might take a lot less time , make a less crumbly mess and have a better outcome. I'll try it later today and let you know.
My thought exactly! I make parmesan "whisps" out of cheap (well, nowadays that's relative) shredded parmesan in the square 24 oz. plastic jar from Sam's on parchment paper lined microwave safe plate, 1/4 oz (7 gm) per little patty, nuked for a minute or more until very lightly tanned. NOTHING could be crispier! But adding some rind crumbs could up the ante. I also make pepperoni crisps the same way in the microwave, dropping a little pile of parm shreds on each one before nuking. They are so good for dipping in maranara.
Hi Wes. I love your content. You usually show the full nutritional info. What happened today? Hopefully it will show on those sites.
there is a pork rind plus egg white recipe by Chef Fat Grams that is pretty special as well, especially if you have either a monster size flat flipper....or the electric tortilla maker (I bought it and it gets a very crunchy shell once microwaved).
Thanks so much, yup my Newer Carnivore version made with my tortilla can be made into the chip, tostadas and hard shell tacos. Are you a pro with that electric tortilla press yet?😊
@@cheffatgrams ...... I am getting there. The last 4 that I made we ate as tacos, and there was one I turned into a nachos.
@@truthinthefaceoftyranny Awesome, I use my rind flour ones for mainly my Tex-Mex dishes. The nut flour ones are good on just about anything and the seed flour ones make amazing wraps😁
I love pork rinds. Use them as fillers and as a coating for pork chops, etc.
Thanks Wes! Will definitely be trying the crispy shells. They look great!
Thanks Wes! I love Chef Fat Grams other pork rine shells they are a staple here - these are from I believe 2 mos ago...blessings ❤
I have re-made this recently he is referring to my original recipe😁 This recipe was created after my first recipe which was a keto lunchable in 2018. The cracker was amazing so I used my idea to create this taco shell😊 You actually get to see the original Chef in the video and me speaking in a tone that might put you to sleep😂🤣
@@cheffatgrams you too funny... one of your tones put me to sleep!! I didn't realize it was an older recipe, however I still love it- I also got the electric tortilla press, and love it as well... blessings
@@amsohn1 😁
Chef Fat Grams has great easy recipes. Folks should check him out!
Yes they should! Hoping this video so send some new viewers his way! 🧡🧡
Thanks so much for your encouragement & support Jan😁 Hope you have a blessed Easter..
@@HighfalutinLowCarb This channel has helped the community and content creators more than you know Wes. “A rising tide lifts all boats” -JFK- and that’s what you do
amen to that
Interesting ideas/recipes. Thanks for sharing these Wes.
Thanks, Cindi! 🧡🧡
Tortilla chips with the crispy shell and definitely enchiladas with the soft ones. Thanks so much for introducing us to these recipes.
I love Chef Fat Grams! His recipes are awesome!
Thanks so much Kathy🤗 It made my day when I found out Wes featured one of my recipes 🎉 Y’alls support in the comments is just icing on the cake😊😊😊 Hope you had a wonderful day
Looks wonderful!
I like pork rinds. My issue with them is they tend to get stuck in my throat. lol. I don’t know…they gum up or something. 😆
I prefer using them as “bread crumbs” in frying and/or baking recipes. Thanks for testing these recipes out, Wes. You’re the best!
I just can't find pork rinds in France, it's sad
Interesting. Would they go by another baker there, by chance? They aren’t overly-popular here, and in some parts of the country, people can only find them in gas stations as “road trip snacks.” Haha!
I believe my subscribers from Australia have found them at Costco.
I think maybe the French think they are too "Hifalutin'" for pork rinds.😜 Sorry, folks, just couldn't resist. 🤭
Wonder if you could make triangle “Doritos”
Oh I am SO there!!
Wes, there is a mexican girl who has her own tortilla business. I just came from her channel and I think it looks hella-legit. I do not have the chillies necessary, but have a press.
Pinche Nancy English, she has a spanish channel as well. Her tortillas look pretty good. She has a keto tortilla recipe that makes 12 restaurant sized tortillas with 0.8 carbs each. Can be fried to make tostadas.
AF, psyllium, xanthan gum, spices, chillies etc.
Ooh, need to look there. Wes may be revisiting tortillas sooner than he thought with the recommendations in the comments.
Love a good pork rind recipe. Do you think that first one would make a good pancake (maybe swap the cumin for cinnamon)? I’m allergic to all nut flower unfortunately :(
So happy you discovered Chef Fat Grams. He has some really good recipes. ❤️🥰❤️
I want something that feels and tases like an oil fried corn tortilla.
I have a carnivore tortilla that matches that description and if you like enchiladas, you will not find a better 0 carb substitute tortilla😊 hope you have a great day.
Let me tell you. I had the spicy pork rinds. Found it up and added spices to it breaded my chicken breast and it was delicious.
I wonder if you can take the soft shells and put them on a metal taco shaper, spray a bit of avocado spray on them and crisp them up in the oven.🤔
The amount of fear that went thru my body when I seen your reflection in the cook top was tremendous lol it looked like a face at the bottom of my tv lmbo
Haha! Now I need to go find that part! LOL
Cheff Fat Grams is awesome!
Thanks Carnivore collective, your awesome and encouraging as always😊 I hope you have a wonderful Easter🤗
@@cheffatgrams you are most welcome and I hope you have a wonderful Easter as well!
@@thecarnivorecollective 😁
Great video. I cannot find theprimitivepalate with your link and I need the recipe so I can try the soft tortillas! I don’t want to guess and possibly waste ingredients. Help please!
Do you think you could try Chris Cooking Nashville’s tortillas?
I wish the Primitive Palate site was working. I’d like the ingredient amounts.
Since the Primitive Palate website has been down for a while, I have posted the original recipe below, and will link to it from the Internet Archive that has it stored.

Keto Pork Rind Tortillas
Servings: 12 six inch tortillas
Time: 20 minutes
Difficulty: easy
Ingredients
4 oz. Hot & Spicy Pork Rinds (regular work just fine, too)
1 (eight oz.) package cream cheese, softened
8 eggs
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Method:
1. Place pork rinds into a food processor and blitz for about 10 seconds, until they are dust.
2. Add all other ingredients to food processor and blitz for about 45 more seconds. Until you have a nice smooth batter.
3. Preheat an electric griddle to high. (Using a non-stick pan on the stove top would work also, I would just set the heat to medium-high)
3. Spray cooking surface with a little spray oil (I use either coconut oil or olive oil spray) and pour 1/3 cup of batter onto griddle.
4. Gently spread the batter as thin as you can with a rubber spatula and cook for about 2 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Flip tortilla and continue to cook for about 45 more seconds.
6. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
*These tortillas can be made ahead and wrapped in plastic, or stored in the freezer!

@@HighfalutinLowCarb thank you!
Wes, can you please give the exact measurements as it seems the primitive palate’s web page is gone.
I made them once before and loved them (actually made a burrito sized tortilla and it was perfect!).
No tutorial in the home made taco holder ?
Ha! I mentioned a bit about it, but wound up cutting it out of the video to save time.
It’s just the side if a cardboard box cut to size and wrapped in a piece of aluminum foil. Folded it a few times accordion style and put a piece of tape along the bottom to keep it standing. Easy-peasy! :-)
could you use planco instead of pork grians ?
The Primitive Palate site isn’t working, can you post the ingredient amounts?

I wonder if oat fiber could sub for the pork rinds. I just can't handle the thought of them.
The soft tortillas sound wonderful BUT cannot pull up the primitive pallet site for the ingredient amount. Any suggestions?
Can you use these to make the McDonald's big Mac that you made?
Wes I love ur delish food but a bit concerned by the sat fat in this diet, is that something I need to be worried about?
Just an fyi........the primitive palate link isn't working and I can't find the website, so no info on the recipe.
Do the soft tortillas stick to your teeth? I have made several (not tortillas) with pork panko/ground pork rinds and all of them stick to my teeth.
I wonder if you could use eggwhites instead of eggs for even a less eggy taste? Or maybe 4 of each. Or eggwhite powder with extra water... 🤔
my question is about the cholesterol, can you swap the whole egg for egg whites??
Maybe put the batter into a piping bag?
The link to the soft tortilla is not working 😢
I use AlaMadre corn tortillas and they are so good I can't tell the difference from the regular ones. For flour I use La Tortilla Factory low carb tortillas. Both taste so good it's hard to believe they are really low carb and if the net carbs are true I no longer see the need to try to make any other version. Do you or any of your viewers have an opinion???? Is it too good to be true???
Spikes my blood glucose horribly. Test yourself. I loved them. But no more.
They spike blood glucose and all the added fiber causes (ahem) digestive issues for me. I am able to use the Mr Tortilla street taco sized tortillas (3 Chiles flavor is best with my glucose and tummy).
@@Lucinda_Jackson Thanks so much for sharing this info. I need to find out if they also spike my blood glucose. I am ok on the digestive situation, but concerned that they may stop my weight loss. I need to get a glucose tester.
for the first recipe is anyone else that had problem to open their website? I press the link and says that the domain is for renting
Tried to follow you on FB but there is no option to follow. Everything is grayed out.
Don't do Facebook. You can't talk freely there! Nice video. Do a tortilla challenge with recipes that use lupin flour and gluten possibly. I'm looking for them.
Try KetoFocus. She has gorgeous tortillas made with a combo of almond flour and lupin flour. They're gluten free. She has a website and she did a video on her UA-cam channel in Jan 2023. I love her and her recipes.

Floppy one looks more like flatbread than tortilla. Too bready for me.

Unfortunately, it appears PrimitiveP, is gone.
First comment.. lol
First! You’re up early this morning!
