Ingredients
Taco Shells
- 1 1/2 cups cheese shredded (I used a Colby and Monterrey Jack Cheese)
Taco Meat Filling
- 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey your choice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/12 teaspoon smoked paprika

- Romaine Lettuce shredded
- Cherry Tomatoes halved
- Shredded Cheese your choice
- Sour Cream Drizzle
Sour Cream Drizzle
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1-2 teaspoons almond milk
Instructions
Taco Filling Instructions
- Cook your ground beef or ground turkey first.
- Add all the taco meat seasonings. The cocoa powder is optional but it totally enhances the flavors of all the other seasonings!
- Continue cooking until ground beef and/or ground turkey is fully browned and cooked.
Taco Shell Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees before you start.
- Using a large baking sheet, cover it with a piece of parchment paper. This prevents the cheese from sticking to the pan. Don’t skip this part.
- Place six circles of shredded cheese, roughly about 1/4 cup cheese in each circle.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. If the cheese bakes too long, it will be extra crunchy. If the cheese bakes to little, it won’t form a shell properly. You want to make sure the cheese is somewhat brown on the outsides and bubbly in the center. This is the best way I can explain it.
- Allow cooling for a minute, then carefully drape the taco shells over a wooden spoon to harden while they cool completely.
Taco Assembly Instructions
- Use a taco holder stand to keep the taco shell in the right position, add lettuce, taco meat filling, cherry tomatoes, and cheese.
- Drizzle sour cream over the top to enjoy the perfect crispy cheese keto tacos!
Sour Cream Drizzle Instructions
- Add ingredients to a squeeze bottle and shake well.
- The sour cream will be more liquified (not too much) and easily squeeze out of the bottle to use as a topping for tacos, pizza, enchiladas, and more.
