INGREDIENT NOTES & KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour can be used because it will give these tornadoes a smooth, cohesive texture. Either ground flaxseed meal or a tiny bit of coconut flour can be used in its place.
CHICKEN:
- The recipe’s base is made using chicken. It will increase the dish’s protein and healthy fat content. To give a different flavor, you can also use the thighs of chicken, beef, and turkey.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- The cheddar cheese will give the filling a powerful taste and more creaminess. Use the mozzarella, Colby, or pepper jack instead to add more spice.
MAYONNAISE:
- Utilize the mayonnaise to deliver the dish a silky and decadent texture. Alternatively, you can use egg mayonnaise or avocado oil mayo.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- To preserve the tornadoes’ texture, you might use mozzarella cheese. It also provides a fluid texture and a subtle flavor. Additionally, you can use Parmesan, cheddar, or Monterey Jack cheese.
BUTTER:
- It will soften the tornadoes and add moisture and rich flavor. Additionally, it will improve the cake’s flavor and texture. If necessary, substitute the avocado oil, ghee, or coconut oil.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Stir the parsley, cheddar cheese, black pepper, shredded chicken, garlic powder, crumbled bacon, mayonnaise, cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and mozzarella cheese in a dish.

- Put a dish in a microwave and cook till they melt, about 60 seconds.
