Lamb Keto Tacos With Cauliflower Tortillas

Going keto doesn’t mean you need to miss out on Taco Tuesday. Instead, cook up these satisfying keto tacos. Tender, slow-cooked lamb shoulder is wrapped in grain-free cauliflower keto taco shells to keep flavors high and carbohydrates low.

These low-carb tacos work hard for your keto diet, thanks to quality fats from Grass-Fed Ghee and the natural fat from grass-fed lamb (step aside, traditional taco meat!). Taco seasoning need not apply; this three-hour low-and-slow lamb houses plenty of deliciousness courtesy of fresh herbs and cumin.

While cheese taco shells are popular for most keto taco recipes, our keto-friendly low-carb tortillas made of cauliflower are more pliable, while also ensuring you don’t miss out on those much-needed veggies. To assemble these keto tortillas, in addition to cauliflower, gather up eggs, xanthan gum and psyllium husk. Then, all you need is a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat and a few minutes on the oven timer. Unlike flour tortillas, this recipe is gluten-free. Plus, this winning combination is tastier and more nutritious than corn tortillas any day!

While there’s no cheddar cheese sprinkled on these, you’ll enjoy healthier taco toppings from the crunch of sliced radishes and a dash of freshly chopped cilantro. Want to get next-level? Homemade guacamole can add some creaminess while jalapenos can crank up the heat factor.

Missing Taco Night? Had one too many taco salads? Once you learn how to make keto tacos like these, you’ll be craving them on the reg and adding them into the weekly rotation in no time…
