Keto Tacos with Cheese Shells Recipe

Crispy cheese shell tacos that are perfect for the keto diet. Easy to make, low carb, and packed with flavor. A fun healthy recipe idea for taco night or quick meals.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cheese Shells:

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese that melts well)

For the Taco Filling:

  • 1 lb ground beef or chicken

  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

  • Lettuce, chopped

  • Tomato, diced

  • Sour cream

  • Salsa

  • Avocado, sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Place small piles of shredded cheese on the baking sheet (about ⅓ cup each). Flatten them into circles.

  • Bake for 6-8 minutes until bubbly and golden.

  • Remove from oven and let cool for about 30 seconds.

  • Carefully drape each cheese circle over a spoon handle balanced between two cups to form a taco shell. Let cool until crispy.

  • In a pan, cook ground beef with taco seasoning until fully cooked.

  • Fill cheese shells with beef and all your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, sour cream, salsa, and avocado.

Notes

Best served fresh. If making ahead, store cheese shells between parchment paper and re-crisp in the oven for a few minutes. Try different cheeses like Colby Jack or a Mexican blend for fun flavors.
