Keto Taco Pie is a delicious low-carb version of an old favorite comfort food. A great addition to any ketogenic meal plan, it includes seasoned ground beef and melted cheese with fresh veggies nestled in a golden crust. The use of almond or coconut flour to make the crust is not only low-carb but delicious, which my entire family can enjoy for dinner. The combination of cumin, paprika, and chili powder layers in that authentic taco taste, while the gooey cheese on top just adds to the richness and texture factor.
This is a flex dish, in which you’re welcome to swap out the protein or the vegetables if you so desire. You can serve your Keto Taco Pie immediately, get it out of the oven to cool, or make it ahead as part of meal prep. Bold flavors, a fun crunch, and cheesy indulgence…it’s sure to be your new favorite. Serve with a side salad or keto guacamole to make it into a meal. Great for weeknight meals or entertaining, this pie brings the flavors of classic tacos in a low-carb and keto-friendly form.
