Keto 4th of July BBQ Beef Tacos
These BBQ beef tacos are an excellent addition to your Keto 4th of July recipes. The crispy taco shells are made with shredded cheddar cheese and filled with flavorsome BBQ beef filling, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomatoes. Optionally, add some chopped avocados or diced onions and adjust the amount according to taste. These wonderful BBQ beef tacos should be served immediately while the taco shells are perfectly crisp and the filling is fresh. They pair perfectly with a few drops of fresh lime juice or some more low-carb BBQ sauce on top. Enjoy!
How to make these cheese taco shells perfectly crispy?
If your cheddar taco shells are not perfectly crispy, they’re probably not baked enough. The cheese should have a deep golden color with light brown edges. Depending on your oven, you might need to adjust the baking time.
Can I use other types of cheese?
We used cheddar cheese for this recipe, but other great options are Colby Jack and Parmesan. Shred the cheese you’re using and bake for approximately 5-10 minutes (depending on the type and the amount of cheese you’re using). Shape into taco shells and stuff each with our BBQ beef filling.

Add the ground beef, taco seasoning, BBQ sauce, and black pepper. Mix well and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.Step 3
When done, taste and optionally season with some salt or add black pepper. You can also add a few drops of hot sauce at this point. Set it aside.Step 4

Bake for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese melts and is lightly brown. Cool for 2-3 minutes and fold to create a taco shell. Optionally, drape over a rolling pin placed between two glasses or cans. Repeat with the remaining cheese.Step 6
