Ingredients You’ll Need
Ground Beef Taco Mixture
- Ground Beef – This makes up the hearty protein part of the dish. Use no more than 85% ground beef for the best flavor. You can also use ground turkey, chicken, or bison instead.
- Onion & Garlic – These classic flavors pair well with taco meat.
- Bell Pepper – Bell pepper adds a slightly sweet flavor and bulk.
- Jalapeno Pepper – Jalapenos spice up the dish but can be omitted if you like it less spicy.
- Avocado Oil – You’ll need avocado or olive oil in order to saute the veggies and beef to release their flavors.
- Taco Seasoning – You can use a homemade blend of taco seasoning or one packet of your favorite taco seasoning.
For Crust
- Eggs – These help bind the crust together making it stick to the beef mixture.
- Shredded Mexican Cheese – Will add a crispy texture and salty bite.
- Almond Flour – Gives the taco pie a bread type texture while being “crustless”
- Salt & Pepper – Balances the flavors in the crust.
How To Make Keto Taco Pie
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- In a large skillet, heat up 1 tbsp avocado oil. Add in the bell pepper, jalapeno, and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes or until everything begins to soften.
- To the skillet, add in ground beef and taco seasoning. Sauté ground beef in with the vegetables for 5-8 minutes or until beef is cooked through and no longer pink.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cheese and almond flour until a thick batter is formed.
- Place your ground beef mixture in a pie pan or 8×8 baking dish and press the mixture down until it’s flat.
- Pour the egg, cheese and almond flour crust on top using a spoon or rubber spatula to spread evenly over the ground beef mixture.
