Crispy Keto Beef Taquitos Recipe
Are you craving a crunchy, cheesy, and delicious snack? This Crispy Keto Beef Taquitos Recipe is perfect for you.
Equipment
- Large skillet
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
- Chef's knife
Ingredients
- Ground beef 1 lb
- Shredded cheddar cheese 2 cups
- Cream cheese 4 oz
- Taco seasoning 2 tbsp
- Diced jalapenos 1/4 cup
- Garlic powder 1 tsp
- Salt 1/2 tsp
- Black pepper 1/2 tsp
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: Put your ground beef in the large skillet. Cook it until the meat is no longer pink. Drain the extra fat from the pan.
- Add the Spices: Pour the taco seasoning into the cooked beef. Add the cream cheese and jalapenos now. Stir until the mixture is very smooth.
- Prepare the Cheese Circles: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Place small piles of shredded cheddar on the sheet. Flatten them into circles with your hand.
- Bake the Cheese: Put the cheese circles in the oven. Bake at 400 degrees for five minutes. Wait until the edges look brown and bubbly.
- Fill and Roll: Remove the cheese circles from the oven. Put a spoonful of beef on each circle. Quickly roll them up into a tight tube shape.
- Cool and Set: Let the taquitos sit for two minutes. This makes the cheese shells get very crispy. Serve them while they are still nice and warm.
Notes
➔ Use parchment paper so the cheese does not stick.
➔ Do not overfill the taquitos or they will break.
➔ Roll the cheese while it is still very hot.
➔ Use high-quality cheddar for the best crispy shell results.
➔ Blot the beef dry to keep the filling thick.
➔ Space the cheese circles out to avoid one big mess.
➔ Let them cool slightly to reach maximum crunchiness.
