When you want a delicious and filling dish, this low carb taco pie is an awesome choice! We start by making a homemade taco seasoning mix, so you actually get two recipes with this dish! You can serve this taco pie as is, or you can top it with some of your favorite taco toppings.

Let’s talk about our homemade taco seasoning mix!

I love making homemade seasoning mixes, and taco seasoning is one I make often. You have some great reasons for making homemade seasoning mixes. First, it’s quick and easy to make your own seasoning mixes, and it’s also a money saver. Next, when you make your own seasoning mixes, you can be assured there are no unwanted ingredients, which are often added to pre-made mixes. Some of these include artificial coloring and flavoring, corn starch, maltodextrin, and sugar. Also, when you make your own seasoning mixes, you can customize the spices and amounts of spices to suit your taste preferences. For our homemade taco seasoning, we combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, onion powder, pepper, and oregano. This is a fairly mild seasoning mix. If you’d like to up the heat level, you can add some cayenne pepper or some red pepper flakes to your mix.

What other ingredients go into this low carb taco pie?

I used a lean ground beef mixture to make my taco pie. Alternately, you can use ground turkey to make this dish. You will want to make sure you drain the grease from your meat before adding the meat to the pie plate. We then combine eggs, heavy whipping cream, salsa, and shredded cheese which combines to make our taco pie incredibly filling and incredibly delicious. When buying salsa, you’ll want to make sure there is no added sugar. For cheese, I used colby jack cheese, but you can use any good melting cheese for your taco pie. Some great options include colby, gruyere, havarti, Monterey jack, mozzarella, provolone, regular or smoked gouda, or Swiss cheese. If you’d like to add a little heat, you could use pepper jack cheese. For the best results, I do recommend buying a block of cheese and shredding it yourself.

What are some ways I can serve this low carb taco pie?

You have some awesome options for serving this dish. It’s delicious as is, but you can also top it with your favorite taco toppings. Some great choices include avocado slices, cilantro, guacamole, olives, onions, shredded lettuce, sliced jalapenos or tomatoes, or sour cream. If you’d like to add more heat, you could top your slice of taco pie with a dash or two of your favorite hot sauce. You can serve this dish with a green salad or with a keto soup. For sides, cauliflower rice would be an awesome low carb option. A couple of our favorites include cilantro lime cauliflower rice and fajita cauliflower rice. You can also serve this dish with some coleslaw or even with a side of cooked vegetables.
