Instructions:

  1. Make the Cheese Taco Shells: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese into a small circular mound on the baking sheet. Repeat to make more shells, leaving space between each. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown.
  2. Shape the Cheese Shells: Let the cheese cool slightly (about 1-2 minutes), then carefully lift each cheese round and drape it over a wooden spoon handle or the edge of a baking dish to create a taco shell shape. Let them cool and harden.
  3. Prepare the Steak Filling: While the shells are cooling, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sear the steak for about 2-3 minutes per side or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
  4. Assemble the Tacos: Fill each cheese shell with a portion of the cooked steak. Top with diced red onion, chopped cilantro, shredded lettuce, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy these deliciously cheesy, keto-friendly steak tacos!

Tips:

  • Alternative Toppings: Add sliced jalapeños, sour cream, or a drizzle of low-carb salsa for extra flavor.
  • For Extra Crispiness: For even crispier cheese shells, let the cheese rounds bake a bit longer until they are a deep golden color.

These Keto Steak and Cheese Tacos are crunchy, savory, and perfect for a satisfying low-carb meal that doesn’t skimp on flavor. Enjoy!
