The other day my daughter asked for tacos for dinner. Normally, I make cheese cup “shells” for my husband and I to stay keto, but I did not have any shredded Parmesan and it was a holiday. So I decided to wing a keto taco skillet – and it came out amazing. I just threw together some ingredients that sounded like they would taste good together – and was blown away by the verdict! Honestly, this is something that we will have many times over, I already know it!
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs ground beef (I prefer 80/20)
- 2 cups riced cauliflower
- 2 bell peppers (chopped)
- 1 onion (chopped)
- handful of spinach
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 cup mozarella cheese
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp red pepper
- 1 tsp ground oregano
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt & Pepper to taste
As always, I highly recommend purchasing a block of cheese and then shredding it yourself. The prepackaged cheese have a lot of hidden carbs because flours are used to stop the cheese from clumping over time.
Directions
- Brown ground beef in medium size skillet or pan.
- Drain grease.
- Add water and spices. Mix well.
- Add chopped onion and peppers.
- Stir and let cook for 2 minutes.
- Add riced cauliflower and stir to combine.
- Add cherry tomatoes. Cook for about 30 seconds.
- Add cheeses and let cook until melted.
- Put spinach on the top as garnish.
- Enjoy!
My husband decided to top his skillet with sour cream, jalapenos, and Franks’ Hot Sauce. I added some Frank’s hot sauce to mine as well.
