  • Bake cheese taco shells for 7 to 10 minutes until edges start to become golden brown.
  • Take out from oven and let cool for two minutes. Then, remove from baking sheet and carefully fold in half to create taco shells. For added stability, place shells in taco stands.

  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Add spicy jalapeños or hot sauce for an extra kick of heat. 
  • Ground turkey, chicken, or pork are excellent taco meat options to replace ground beef. 
  • Create your own Keto Taco seasoning using chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • The taco shell can be made with other types of cheese, such as mozzarella or pepper jack, for a different flavor profile.  
  • If you prefer soft taco shells, reduce the cooking time and shape the melted cheese over a rolling pin or other cylindrical object.
