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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
While the cheese shells are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Step 6
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the meat with spices.
Step 7
Continue cooking the beef for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring it's well-seasoned, then remove from heat.
Step 8
To assemble the tacos, fill each cheese shell with a layer of the beef mixture.
Step 9
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly beef soft shell tacos!
