Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 avocado
- 1 lime
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the cheddar cheese into 8 separate piles on the baking sheet, roughly 1/4 cup each. Flatten them slightly into circles about 4 inches in diameter.
Bake the cheese piles in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown. Remove and let them cool for a minute before carefully removing them with a spatula and draping them over the edge of a container or rolling pin to form taco shell shapes. Allow them to cool completely.
While the cheese shells are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the meat with spices.
Continue cooking the beef for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring it's well-seasoned, then remove from heat.
To assemble the tacos, fill each cheese shell with a layer of the beef mixture.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream.
Slice the avocado and lime. Add a few slices of avocado to each taco, and squeeze a bit of lime juice over the top for added freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly beef soft shell tacos!
