Keto Beef Taquitos
A savory and crunchy keto-friendly snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with minced onion until fully cooked and no longer pink.
- Drain excess fat from the beef mixture.
- Add cumin, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and water to the skillet with the beef. Mix well and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded Cheddar, Mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until cheeses are melted and can be stirred together.
- Spread the melted cheese mixture into a thin layer on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Spoon the beef mixture evenly over the melted cheese layer.
- Roll up the cheese and beef mixture tightly into a log shape, using the parchment paper to help you roll.
- Cut the log into smaller segments (about 1 inch wide) and place each segment seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until taquitos are golden and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
