It’s so much fun to make these keto cheese taco shells! They’re perfect for all your favorite taco fillings and toppings! These shells contain just one ingredient, cheese! But they’re so delicious and they’re also quick and easy to make. And if you don’t want to shape your cheese into shells, you can leave them flat and serve them as tostada shells!

Let’s talk about our cheese!

I love cheese and eat it almost every day! I grew up on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin and our milk went straight to a local cheese factory. So, needless to say, we always had a great selection of cheese in our house. Cheese is an awesome keto food choice. It’s a great source of calcium, fat, and protein. I used sharp cheddar cheese for my shells. You can also use mild or medium cheddar if you’d prefer. I’ve also made my shells using sliced provolone cheese and they turned out great. I do recommend you buy a block of cheese and shred it yourself. The first reason is that pre-shredded cheese adds anti-caking ingredients such as potato starch or tapioca starch. The other reason is that cheese shredded from a block of cheese melts and tastes so much better!

How do I make these keto cheese taco shells?

These cheese shells are easy to make, but there are a few things you can do to ensure yours turn out perfect! First, you’ll want to line your baking sheets with parchment paper. Then, when you place your cheese into circle shapes onto the parchment paper, you’ll want the circles to be about the same size. You’ll also want to leave some space between the cheese circles since they’ll spread out a bit. I let my cheese set for a couple minutes before shaping it. You can dab some of the grease from your cheese if you’d like. To shape your shells, you can use mason jars or glasses and place a long spoon across them. Then you can fold your cheese over the spoon handle to form it into a shell shape and let it set for 5 minutes to allow it to harden a bit.

What are some ways I can serve these keto cheese taco shells?

You have some great low carb options for serving these cheese taco shells. Don’t ask me how I know, but these shells can be eaten as a snack or appetizer, just as they are!😊You can also dip them in salsa or guacamole. They are also perfect to use just as you would regular taco shells and fill them will all your favorite taco ingredients. I love making all kinds of tacos for my family. And while I usually use ground beef or ground turkey, my family also enjoys chicken tacos made with shredded chicken. I have a go-to homemade taco seasoning that works well for all kinds of meats. For toppings, you also have some awesome keto choices. Some of our favorites include diced avocados, onions, or tomatoes, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, sliced olives, and sour cream. If you want to add some heat, sliced jalapenos are a great choice!
