There’s no denying that everybody loves tacos. Whether it’s taco Tuesdays, Cinco de Mayo, game night, or just another ordinary weeknight, warm, cheesy, beefy tacos make any mini get-together or solitary dinner much more pleasant.<\/p>\n

But while they’re appetizingly delicious, tacos are not ideal dishes for a keto diet. High on carbs, they can easily push you out of ketosis<\/a>. Does this mean you have to miss out on Taco Tuesdays, week after week? Not at all. With the right recipes–that we’ve curated below–you can munch on your favorite tacos without breaking your keto diet.<\/p>\n

Are Tacos Keto?<\/h2>\n

The answer depends on the kind of taco. Traditional tacos aren’t quite keto-healthy. An average beef soft taco contains 19.5g of carbs and just 10.2g of fat for a total of 217 calories which makes it carb-heavy, and hence not suitable for keto dieters.<\/p>\n

But where there’s a will, there’s a taco.<\/p>\n

What topples the carb meter in a taco is the corn tortilla shell. So, with just a few alterations and ingredient swaps, you can make tacos that are low on carbs, keto-friendly and so delectably good, that you’ll want to extend taco Tuesdays to taco Wednesdays and Thursdays.<\/p>\n

Keto Taco Recipes<\/h2>\n

After scouring the depths of the internet, we’ve curated a list of 13 easy to make and delicious taco recipes that are stuffed with all the flavors of a traditional taco but without a side of extra carbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
