Easy Keto Taco Pie | A Low-Carb, Cheesy Tex-Mex Delight

Keto taco pie is the best of both worlds with all your favorite flavours from tacos mixed into a comforting low-carb pie. It’s all good enough that friends who aren’t on keto will want a taste, too. This simple and satisfying casserole mixes seasoned browned beef with eggs and cheese to form a pie-like base loaded with protein and flavour.

Instead of a traditional crust, it replaces with keto-friendly alternatives like almond flour or crushed pork rinds. In fact, plenty of variations don’t have crust at all, to keep carbs as low as possible without sacrificing flavour. The top is blanketed in melted cheese, but you can add more in the form of things like sour cream, avocado or salsa for even greater taste pleasure.This meal is quick to pull together, family-friendly and reheats great.

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease a pie dish or oven proof skillet.

7. Bake: Bake, uncovered, until the center is set and top is golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to sit for 5 minutes before cutting. Top with additional toppings if desired and serve warm.
