These keto beef tacos deliver satisfying flavor and crunch without the carbs, featuring ground beef, homemade taco seasoning, and crispy baked cheese taco shells, making for a healthy meal option.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ package taco seasoning mix
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- ½ cup tomatoes, diced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy cleanup.
- Spread 2 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese into four 6-inch circles on the prepared sheets, ensuring they're at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cheese circles for 6-8 minutes until melted and lightly golden-brown. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes before carefully lifting with a spatula.
- Shape the cheese shells by draping them over a wooden spoon handle balanced between two cups. Allow them to cool completely, about 10 minutes.
- While the shells cool, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 7 minutes, stirring frequently to break up any clumps.
- Season the cooked beef with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute longer to blend the flavors.
- Divide the beef mixture evenly among the cheese taco shells. Top with avocado, lettuce, shredded Cheddar cheese, and diced tomatoes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
