Keto Beef Taquitos with Cheese Taco Shells

Keto diet is one of the best diets for your creativity because you can create a keto-friendly version of almost every dish.

For this Keto Taquitos, we will use beef as the main filling that will satiate you and replenish the body with protein.

To make the shell low carb, we use a combination of cheeses: cheddar and mozzarella. They are also rich in protein and healthy fats.

We also use garlic powder and onion shallots to add the flavor. It is necessary to roast your meat in coconut oil to get an amazing coconut flavor.

Adding little chili flakes for sharpness. And you can use sour cream or full-fat yogurt as a dressing. Or don’t add anything. Focus on your taste preferences. Bon Appetit.

For shells:

  • 3/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese shredded

For filling:

  • 1/2 lb Ground beef

  • 1/3 cup low carb salsa
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup sour cream for serving


Instructions:


  1. Heat coconut oil in a frying pan, add shallot and fry for 2 minutes, add minced beef, cook for 3-4 minutes, stir in salsa, chili flakes, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cook on low for 10-12 minutes.
