Cheese Taco Shells made on the Blackstone Griddle Grill

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

We just made Cheese Taco Shells made on the Blackstone Griddle Grill!!  I have a “no fail” technique for you!!

The reason we make cheese shells is because it’s low carb and keto friendly.  There are very little carbs in cheese so it makes the perfect taco shell replacement on the keto diet.

The trick to the best cheese tacos that are keto friendly and made on the griddle is to use parchment paper!  If you ever cooked any type of cheese on the griddle you know it’s tricky.  You just never know if the cheese will stick or not even if the grill is seasoned.

Blackstone Griddle Grills on Amazon

I own two different types of Blackstone Griddle grills.  One I keep out in my RV for camping.  This is the compact version that can easily fold down and come apart for compact storage which is important for small spaces such as camping or in the RV storage.

My other in my 36″ Blackstone Griddle Grill.

I love them both but for different reasons.

I have a family of four so the compact version is perfect when we are camping or at our RV site!  I can cook for a family of four on that size grill with no issues whatsoever.  I would want it any smaller than that though.  I can easily cook egg roll in a bowl on the griddle grill all at once for all of us.  I even think it cooks quicker too because the heat is closer together.

I also really like my 36″ Blackstone Griddle grill because it’s big enough to make these cheese tacos shells or prep a lot of recipes for the week.  It’s a really big cooking space!  Did you see the Keto Philly Cheesesteaks or the Keto Fried Cauliflower Rice I made on it the other day?  Amazing recipes that are easy on the griddle!

Types of Cheese You Can Use to Make These Taco Shells

You can use almost any cheese that comes in a slice form.  I would stay away from cheese options such as feta, cottage cheese, Ricotta, Mascarpone, or cream cheese though.  These are not cheeses you should fry like this.

My favorite cheese to use to make the keto cheese shells are:

  • Cheddar
  • Colby Jack
  • Mozzarella
  • Pepper Jack
  • Gouda
  • Havarti
  • Jarlsberg

That’s a list of my favorite cheeses to grill but that is not a complete list.  Experiment with your favorite cheese!

There is one other cheese that I grill called Queso Fresco but I don’t fry it to make taco shells.  Instead, I cut it in cheese stick shapes and make grilled cheesesticks that I dip in marinara sauce.  They are absolutely delicious and no crust is needed.  You can see the Fried Cheese Sticks here:  https://www.isavea2z.com/keto-fried-cheese-options/

Can you Make Cheese Shells in a Frying Pan on the Stovetop?

Yes!  Absolutely, you can!  You can use the same technique too!   They do make different sizes of precut parchment paper.  I’ve purchased round pieces of parchment paper for my cake pans.

No need to buy Folios Cheese Wraps anymore because this is how you make your own for a fraction of the cost!  We learned this when we microwaved cheese slices as seen in this recipe:  Homemade Cheese Wraps Recipe

Will Parchment Paper Catch Fire When Using it on the Griddle Grill or in the Oven?

The burn point of Parchment Paper is 450 degrees Fahrenheit.  Parchment paper will not burn until it reaches a temperature of 450 degrees.  Now, you do need to know that it will burn if it’s exposed to an open flame.  So just be sure the paper doesn’t reach that point.

I use parchment paper in a lot of my baking.  I also use silicone mats with my keto baked goods so my ingredients don’t stick.

Parchment paper is very different from wax paper.   Wax paper has a wax coating and it’s not the same thing.  Be sure you are using parchment paper for cheese shells.

Are the Cheese Shells Crispy or Soft?

The amount of time you cook the cheese is going to depend on how crispy your taco is.  The darker the cheese color when it’s cooked, the crispier it will be.

If you want a soft cheese shell, pull the cheese from the grill just after the cheese starts to bubble and is fully melted but hasn’t changed to a golden brown color yet.  Don’t flip the cheese taco shell to cook both sides either.  Just be sure to allow the cheese shell to cool long enough before using it too.
