Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 4 keto tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 lb of ground beef, 1 packet of taco seasoning, 4 keto tortillas, 1 cup of shredded lettuce, 1 cup of diced tomatoes, 1 cup of shredded cheese, 1/2 cup of sour cream, and 1/4 cup of sliced jalapeños.
- In a large skillet, heat the skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground beef to the skillet.
- Cook the ground beef for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Ensure that it is browned and cooked through.
- Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary.
- Add the taco seasoning to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Follow the instructions on the seasoning packet, usually adding a specific amount of water (typically around 2/3 cup) and stirring well to combine. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- While the beef is simmering, prepare the keto tortillas. You can either warm them in a separate skillet over low heat for a few minutes on each side or microwave them for about 30 seconds until they are pliable.
- Once the taco meat is ready, assemble your tacos. Start by placing a warm keto tortilla on a plate.
- Layer the taco with a generous scoop of the seasoned ground beef.
- Add shredded lettuce on top of the beef, followed by diced tomatoes.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the vegetables, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat of the meat.
- Top your taco with a dollop of sour cream and a few slices of jalapeños for an extra kick.
- Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas, creating a total of 4 tacos.
- Serve your Keto Doritos Locos Tacos immediately while warm, and enjoy your delicious low-carb meal!
Tips
- Choose high-quality ground beef with a slightly higher fat content (80/20) for maximum flavor and juiciness.
- For extra crispy texture, briefly toast your keto tortillas in a dry skillet before assembling the tacos.
- Drain excess fat from the beef to keep your tacos from becoming soggy.
- Use fresh ingredients like crisp lettuce and ripe tomatoes to enhance the overall flavor profile.
- If you want to add more heat, consider using a homemade taco seasoning that allows you to control the spice level.
- Prep all your ingredients beforehand to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
- For a dairy-free option, replace sour cream with Greek yogurt or a dairy-free alternative.
- Store any leftover taco meat in an airtight container for quick meals throughout the week.
