Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese. Add in the optional chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly. Flatten and shape them into small circles, about 3-4 inches in diameter.
- Bake the cheese shells in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Once done, remove the cheese shells from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two. They will crisp up further as they cool.
- While the cheese shells are cooling, prepare your taco filling. Cook the ground beef or turkey in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and add taco seasoning according to package instructions.
- To assemble the mini cheese shell tacos, place a spoonful of the cooked taco meat onto each cheese shell. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions (if using), sour cream, and guacamole as desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious keto mini cheese shell tacos!
Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite keto-friendly ingredients such as avocado, salsa, or jalapenos. Enjoy your low-carb taco delight!
