Equipment

Non-stick skillet
Spatula
Paper towels
Plate

Ingredients

For the Cheese Shells

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz / 227 g)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz / 113 g)

For the Filling

1 lb ground beef (450 g)
1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
2 teaspoons taco seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings

1 cup shredded lettuce (30 g)
1 medium tomato diced (150 g)
½ cup sour cream (120 g)
½ cup shredded cheese (optional)
¼ cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

In a non-stick skillet, combine the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over medium heat. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and forms a cohesive mixture, about 3-5 minutes.
Once melted, use a spatula to spread the cheese evenly into a flat circle, about 6 inches in diameter. Cook until the edges start to turn golden brown and the cheese is crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the cheese circle using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side. Once done, remove from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining cheese.
In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Sprinkle taco seasoning, salt, and pepper over the beef, mixing well to combine. Add a splash of water if needed to help the seasoning blend. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Take a crispy cheese shell and fill it with a generous amount of the seasoned ground beef mixture. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, shredded cheese, jalapeños, and fresh cilantro as desired.
Enjoy your Crispy Fried Cheese Keto Tacos immediately while the cheese shell is still warm and crispy.

Notes

Feel free to customize your fillings and toppings according to your preferences. You can substitute the ground beef with shredded chicken, turkey, or even a vegetarian option like sautéed mushrooms for a different twist! Enjoy these tacos fresh for the best texture and flavor.
