Instructions
- Mix chipotle paste, oil, and salt in a small bowl.
- Brush the meat with the marinade and let sit for 15 minutes. You can also marinate the meat in a plastic bag for 30 minutes or more in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grill the marinated meat on a rack on a baking sheet in the oven for 20–30 minutes until the meat is thoroughly done. Turn after 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the garlic butter. Press the garlic clove, mix with butter and spices, and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan. Sauté the beans for about 5 minutes on medium-high heat until they have turned a nice color. Lower the heat towards the end, and add spices.
- Mash the avocado flesh with a fork. In a medium bowl, mix together the avocado, beans, and onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and top with a handful of finely chopped cilantro.
Tips
Grilling meat in the oven is super convenient because it takes care of itself. But, feel free to fry the chops in a frying pan or toss them on the grill. Whichever cooking method you prefer, you’ll still get chipotle deliciousness!
If you are having this meal again for lunch tomorrow, only mix together half the mixture of avocado with green beans (step 6). Instead, reserve half of the mash in an airtight container and mix together with the reheated beans when you go to eat it. This will preserve the color, flavor, and texture better.
Yes, personally I would add some meat to the butter. ;)
This recipe was fine however reheating the avocado/green bean dish for lunch the next day was not good. turned everything slimy I thought. next time avocados will be sliced on the side at time of plating.
I do not reheat the beans and avocado. I let them come to room temp and only heat the meat. I also add a bit of lemon and lime to the avocado & beans so that the avocado is still green the next day.

This meal ( Keto chops with green beans and avocado) should have 6g carbs per serving.
BUT!
75g beens have 5,3g carbs
0.5 avocado has 8.6g carbs
In total, per serving, are this 13.9g carbs. This is far away (230% more) from 6g which are announced in the recepi title.
Unfortunately, I have not found a list with macros ref to that recepi here on this page. So, it is not clear how these 6g carbs announced in the recepi title comes together.
I am curious if somebody can explain this discrepany.

I'd like to know if I can substitute the pork meat with any other meat? Cause I don't eat pork. :)
A cut of beef, like a steak, would also work well in this recipe.
Yay!! That is a serious win!
It may also be called Blade Chop, Pork Shoulder Steak, or Pork Steak.
That should work as well.
No, that would be fine! The protein will be higher, though.
