Keto Taco Bowls with Avocado Salsa

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Serves: 6
Tip: You will need six 3” ramekins
or a muffin tin to make this recipe.
Ingredients:

2 c. Colby Jack cheese, finely shredded, divided
1
lb. ground beef (80% lean)
¼ c. water
1
T. chili powder
1 T. ground cumin
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. onion powder
1 t. smoked paprika
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Avocado Salsa:
1 medium avocado, diced
1 small tomato, seeded and diced
2 T. fresh lime juice
1 T. fresh cilantro, chopped
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional, to serve:
1/2 c. sour cream
Directions:
1.
Preheat
oven to 200°F and line a large baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper or
a Silpat® baking mat. Set aside.
2.
Divide
1½ cups of the shredded cheese into 6 piles (approximately 1/4 cup each) on the
prepared baking sheet and spread each pile into a thin circular layer. Place
baking sheets in the pre-heated oven until the cheese is melted and slightly
browned around the edges, around 5-6 minutes.
3.
Remove
from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes, then remove the cheese and press
into 3” ramekins or a muffin tin to form cups. Let cool for several minutes before
gently removing the cheese cups from the form.
Note: If using ramekins, the taco
cups can remain in the container for extra support when serving.
4.
In
the meantime, add the ground beef to a large skillet over medium heat and cook
until the beef is browned and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes. Carefully
drain excess grease from skillet and return to cooktop.
5. Add water and season with chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes or until warmed through.
6.
While
the beef is cooking, combine the avocado, tomato, lime juice, and fresh
cilantro in a medium bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and
gently stir to combine.
7. To serve, fill the taco cheese cups with beef, avocado salsa, and remaining shredded cheese. Top with a dollop of sour cream, if using, and enjoy!
