Keto Taco Salad

Cultural Context

Originating from the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine, taco salad has become a popular dish in the United States, especially among those seeking low-carb options. Traditionally made with a crispy tortilla shell, the keto version replaces this with fresh greens, making it a healthier alternative while still celebrating the bold flavors of taco seasoning and toppings. Today, variations abound, with many customizing their salads with different proteins and toppings to suit personal preferences.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Ground turkey is leaner, while beans provide plant-based protein.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Greek yogurt is lower in calories and adds creaminess.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

taco seasoning

🥗Healthier: homemade spice blend

💰Cheaper: individual spices

Homemade blends avoid additives and can be tailored to taste.

1

Heat a 10-inch frying pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

2

Add 1 pound of ground beef to the pan and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

3

Season the ground beef with 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for a few more minutes to toast the spices.

4

In a bowl, combine 1 cup almond flour, 3/4 cup King Arthur's keto flour, 1 teaspoon xanthan gum, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.

5

Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and add it to the dry ingredients.

6

Crack in 1 egg and add 1/4 cup of water, mixing until it starts to come together.

7

Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.

8

Divide the dough into two pieces and roll each out to 13 inches wide between two pieces of parchment paper.

9

Heat oil in a separate pot to 350-375 degrees Fahrenheit for frying the tortillas.

10

Shape the rolled-out tortilla around a can or potato masher to form a bowl and fry until crispy.

11

Prepare the salad by chopping 1 cucumber, 1 red onion, and 1/2 cup of cilantro, and placing them in a bowl.

12

Add 2 cups of romaine lettuce to the bowl and top with the cooked ground beef, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced black olives.

13

Squeeze juice from 2 limes over the salad before serving.
