Looking for keto-friendly ways to enjoy taco night? While traditional corn or flour tortillas are high in carbs, there are a few low carb options. The easiest method is to ditch the shell and just mix the ingredients together in a bowl.
You can also find a few low carb tortilla brands at the store. Or just make your own cauliflower, coconut flour, or almond flour tortillas right at home! Of course, these do take a little time to make. And the store-bought versions can have quite a few net carbs. And unless you fry them up, they will be more like soft tacos.
If you’ve been craving a hard shell taco and want something super easy and low carb, you have to try keto cheese taco shells! Each one has only 1 gram of carb and the only ingredient you need is cheese. Seriously! All you have to do is measure out the cheese, bake, then hang your shell over a spoon to create the shape. Your shells will be ready in a matter of minutes.
Keto Cheese Taco Shells
For crunchy hard low-carb taco shells, just make them out of cheese! Simply melt in rounds, shape, and let cool.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F, and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Place the cheese in heaps of ⅓ of a cup on the parchment paper, and spread each out into the shape of a 4-5 inch circle. Be sure to leave some space between each circle, as they will expand a bit as they melt.
-
Bake for 5 minutes, rotate the tray in the oven, and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes until the edges are beginning to brown very slightly, and the cheese takes on a lace-like appearance.
-
Let the cheese circles cool for a few minutes, and while still pliable, peel them from the parchment, and hang them over a wooden spoon that is held between two jars, cups, etc.
-
Let the cheese hang until hardened and completely cooled into the shape of a taco shell.
Recipe Notes
Grated cheddar is recommended, but any similar type of grated cheese will work. Even a blend of different grated cheese can be used.
