What’s the Difference Between Salsa and Salsa Verde?
The most obvious difference is the color: salsa is red; salsa verde is green. But why is the color different?
It’s because salsa verde uses tomatillos (a small, green fruit surrounded by a papery husk with a tart flavor that borders on light citrus) whereas salsa uses red tomatoes. This difference gives salsa and salsa verde not just different colors, but also different flavors.

I’m confused do the tortillas pieces just sit on top or are they mikes in?
Hi Carol! You mix the tortilla pieces in at the end of Step 4.
My family loved this recipe! I used a deboned rotisserie chicken which I think enhances the flavor. Curious why this recipe has “keto” in the title as the Siete almond flour tortillas are 10g carbs per tortilla? Delicious either way just may be misleading for those who are on a strict keto diet.
Hi Lauren, I’m so glad your family enjoyed the recipe!
The recipe only uses 2 of the almond flour tortillas and has 6 servings, so each serving is only 6g net carbs (suitable for keto).
This casserole is great! Even my casserole hating grandson loved it!
Thank you so much, Brenda! I’m so happy to hear you and your grandson loved it! 🙂
This was so yummy! My whole family loves it. Kids are seconds and thirds!! We don’t have any leftovers lol. Only sub I made was with the tortillas…used cut up pieces of the Mission Brand Keto Zero net carb mini tortillas. Great recipe!! Thanks for sharing it 💛
