Makes 12 mini tacos
Recipe modified from cheeseisthenewbread on insta by u/keytolifeisketo
Ingredients:
-
1 cup Shredded Mexican blend cheese
-
6 ounces ground beef (cooked)
-
Taco seasoning (I used Trader Joe’s as it has by far the least amount of carbs for packaged taco seasoning I’ve found – you can also make your own)
-
2 slices American Cheese
-
3/4 tbsp salsa
-
1 tsp bacon grease (or butter)
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
Fill bottom of whoopie pie pan cavities with shredded cheese until you can’t see the bottom. Meanwhile brown ground beef, add taco seasoning.
-
Once preheated, bake for 4 minutes (the cheese will still be soft and bubbly, but will harden enough to fold them, as they sit).
-
Add one spoonful of meat onto half of each melted cheese. Using something that will not damage the pan such as a small spatula gently fold the non-covered side over the hamburger side.
-
Place tray back in the oven for another 15 minutes to re-melt and solidify their shape. Remove from oven and place on paper towel to soak up extra grease.
-
For the nacho cheese, tear up 2 slices of American Cheese, add 3/4 tbsp of the lowest carb salsa you can find and 1 tsp bacon grease (or butter). Microwave until melted, stir. Open and fill the tacos.
