I eat keto and didn’t have any low or no carb tortillas, so I just ate TWO smalls bows of it, each with a generous squeeze of lime and big dollop of guacamole. Soooo divine! 

I added a little ground clove and splash of apple cider vinegar, too. Also, I only used one can of chipotles in adobo and it was perfect.
