💡 Why it works
This recipe is very different from classic pasta salads. The avocado cream binds the Tempestine, the meat gives structure, and the jalapeño adds a fresh and spicy note.
The nutritional profile is interesting: high protein thanks to the beef and Tempestine, very high fiber from the low-carb pasta, medium-high fats from avocado and EVOO, and very low carbohydrates.
⚠️ Low Carb Warning
Do not add corn, beans, tortillas, nachos, or sweet Mexican sauces. Avocado is consistent with low carb, but should be used in controlled amounts as it is very rich. Always check any pre-made spice mixes: some may contain sugar or starches.
