Low Carb & Keto Taco Seasoning and Cheese Shells

Taco Tuesday is a big day in our house, but because my husband and I eat keto, we have not been able to have the shells for a while now. For the longest time we enjoyed our tacos as a salad, which was fine, but then we decided to make our own shells from shredded Parmesan cheese. This is actually super easy, although it seems intimidating at first. We will never go back to the ways of just a taco salad! We have also come up with our own recipe for taco seasoning to avoid all of the carb fillers that are in pre-packaged seasoning.

  4. While the meat is cooking, spread Parmesan cheese out in two circles (approximately one cup per circle) on a nonstick surface or oven safe tray liner.
  5. Place shells in oven for about 5 minutes or until you see the edges of the cheese brown.
  6. Flip shells over on to an upside down bowl immediately after removing from oven to help shape them.
