Keto Chicken Taco Shells image

Yes, a shell made out of chicken! I wanted to make a no-carb taco shell and came up with this recipe and it's oh so tasty! Another plus is that your protein is already in the crust. Keto- friendly and gluten free. We topped ours with lettuce, onion, tomato, cheese, avocado, and salsa.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (12.5 fl oz) can canned chicken breast (such as Trader Joe's®)
2 large eggs
½ cup shredded smoked Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon taco seasoning mix, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Drain the canned chicken thoroughly, getting as much moisture out as possible. Spread chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until dried, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to a bowl. Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Mix eggs, Cheddar cheese, and taco seasoning into the chicken.
  • Scoop 4 even mounds of the mixture onto the same baking sheet. Flatten into tortilla-sized circles.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set, 8 to 10 minutes.
