Crispy Keto Taco Shells

These Crispy Keto Taco Shells are made from mozzarella cheese combined with coconut flour and psyllium husk powder to create low-carb taco shells that crisp up in the oven. The baking and shaping techniques produce sturdy shells suitable for keto-friendly taco fillings, providing a hands-on alternative to traditional corn or flour tortillas with minimal carbs.

Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups mozzarella cheese 225g, room temperature, pre-shredded
  • ¼ cup coconut flour 25g
  • 2 teaspoon psyllium husk powder

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 175 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit.
  2. Mix all ingredients in a food processor or with an electric mixer until they resemble small crumbs. 
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw circles of 6 inch / 15 cm diameter on the parchment. I traced around a small saucepan lid, but you can use any round object that size. 
  4. Scoop ¼ cup of the taco shell mix onto each circle and spread out inside the circle.
  5. Place a second parchment paper on top and press down the dough with your hands or use a rolling pin. Press down well - you want it nice and compacted.
  6. Remove the top parchment paper and bake in the oven for 7 minutes or until the edges of each taco have browned. 
  7. Remove from the oven and hang each taco shell over the side of a large saucepan until cooled. 

Notes

  • Each shell has about 1g net carbs, making them suitable for keto diets.
  • Add spices like cumin or chili powder to the dough mixture for extra flavor.
  • Use an oven rack over the sink to shape shells if you don't have a large pot.
  • The psyllium husk and coconut flour help create sturdy, extra crispy shells beyond mozzarella alone.
