Keto-Friendly Cheese Tacos

Keto-Friendly Cheese Tacos
Tacos, a beloved Mexican dish, can be a tasty addition to a ketogenic diet when prepared with the right ingredients. While there are many ways to make tacos, not all methods are keto-friendly. For a keto-friendly option, opt for cheese tacos made with cheddar cheese instead of tortillas.
Ingredients:
* 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
* 1 pound ground beef
* 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
* ¼ cup water
* Sour cream, avocado, cheese, and lettuce as desired (taco toppings)
Instructions:
* Prepare the cheese base: On a flat, silicone surface, layer the shredded cheddar cheese. This will serve as the base for your tacos.
* Bake the cheese: Place the layered cheese on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until melted.
* Shape the tacos: Once the cheese is melted and slightly cooled, mold it into your desired taco shape using a mold or your hands. Allow to cool completely.
* Prepare the filling: While the cheese is baking, cook the ground beef with taco seasoning and water until browned and cooked through.
* Assemble the tacos: Fill the cheese tacos with the cooked ground beef and your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, cheese, and lettuce.
Tips:
* For a complete keto meal, pair your cheese tacos with a side of steamed broccoli or a low-carb salad.
* Experiment with different types of cheese for various flavor profiles.
* Store leftover cheese tacos in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
By using cheddar cheese as a low-carb substitute for tortillas, you can enjoy a delicious and satisfying keto-friendly taco.
