For Your New Taco Night

I don’t know about you, but I missed the fun and flavor of taco night. But needing to keep things low-carb, I had to find an alternative. These Keto Taco Bowls are the answer. Ground beef seasoned with classic taco spices forms the base, and from there it’s all about toppings: shredded cheese, avocado, sour cream, lettuce, salsa, and anything else that fits your macros.

What makes Keto Taco Bowls great is the flexibility—you can prep everything ahead of time, then build your bowl in minutes. It’s easy to make family-style too, so everyone can customize their own, with or without carbs.

  • Total Carbs: 9g
  • Net Carbs: 6g
  • Fat: 32g
  • Protein: 28g
  • Fiber: 3g
  • Sugar Alcohols: 0g

🛒 Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (if beef is very lean)
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 head romaine or iceberg lettuce, chopped

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Cook the beef
    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add seasonings
    Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add a splash of water if the mixture seems dry. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to blend flavors.
  3. Build your bowl
    In serving bowls, layer chopped lettuce, seasoned beef, and your favorite toppings. Serve immediately.

Optional toppings (use what fits your goals):

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup salsa (no-sugar-added)
  • Sliced jalapeños
  • Diced tomato
  • Lime wedges
  • Cilantro

Keto Taco Bowls are fast, filling, and endlessly adaptable. You can skip the lettuce and use cauliflower rice instead, or go all toppings and make it a taco “platter.” For extra fat, add guacamole or a drizzle of olive oil over the bowl.

These bowls are also great for meal prep—just keep the toppings separate until you’re ready to eat. It’s taco night, keto style, and you won’t miss the tortilla one bit.
