The Best Keto Taco Salad
Tuesday = Taco Salad Day!
Ok, any day is worthy of being graced with tacos, but Taco Salad Tuesday has a much better ring to it. If you’re not sure what tacos are, let me explain. They are a traditional dish from Mexico, made from a tortilla (usually corn or wheat) which gets rolled around a selection of fillings. The usual fillings include proteins, such as beef or chicken, and a variety of vegetables. Finishing touches include topping with cheese for an extra sharp taste. Most people choose to eat them with their hands and they are great when dunked in dips such as salsa and guacamole.
This recipe, i.e. The Best Keto Taco Salad recipe in the World, is a new take on this traditional dish, as it forgoes the tortilla. This makes it perfect for anyone not wanting to include carbohydrates in their diet (e.g. Atkins & Keto dieters) without losing the flavor. With the ingredients still including ground beef, garlic, onion, and cheese, you won’t even miss the tortilla at all!
For lovers of spice, we’ve included jalapeños and hot sauce in this recipe. They do help add the final “kick” for ultimate flavor, but please feel free to exclude both of these if you have milder taste buds. If you’re not including the jalapeños and hot sauce, but do like a little spice, try topping with tomato salsa. This gives the meal an added crunch and complements the cheese very well. We’ve chosen to top ours with avocado and sour cream, which help round off the dish with a lovely, rich texture. On a last note, even though ground beef is the typical main ingredient, you can always substitute this. Other meats include chicken and pork, but if you’re vegetarian, try a range of vegetables such as zucchini and eggplant.
