Description
These Keto Taco Shells are a perfect low-carb alternative to traditional taco shells, delivering a satisfying crunch and flavor while being easy to make with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 60g (2 cups, firmly packed) baby spinach leaves
- 2 large eggs
- 40g (1/3 cup) almond meal
- 2 tsp psyllium husk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Optional: 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Optional: 1/4 tsp cumin for authentic flavor
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the spinach in a food processor or blender and pulse until finely chopped.
- Add the eggs to the spinach and blend until completely combined. The mixture should be bright green and smooth.
- In a medium bowl, combine the almond meal, psyllium husk, and salt (plus optional spices if using).
- Pour the spinach-egg mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a thick, smooth batter forms.
- Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, creating 4-6 circles about 6 inches in diameter. Use the back of the spoon to spread the mixture thinly and evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges begin to brown and the centers are set.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes until you can handle them.
- While still warm and pliable, gently lift each shell and drape over the handle of a wooden spoon or between items in a muffin tin to create the classic taco shape.
- Allow the Keto Taco Shells to cool completely in this position, which will help them hold their shape.
Notes
- Ensure you’re using almond meal rather than blanched almond flour for better texture.
- Psyllium husk is essential for binding the shells together and giving them structure.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours or refrigerate up to 3 days.
- For freezing, freeze flat on a baking sheet, then stack with parchment paper between each shell in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
