keto tacos just rocked my world

Ok, I have been doing Keto since the first week of January and have lost about 15 lbs so far. I'm ok with the slower weight loss as I only needed to lose about 25 lbs. I've done HCG in the past and lost the 25 lbs, and managed to keep it off for 2+ years, but maintaining that way of eating was difficult and I felt miserable even though I was thin. Keto is so much more maintainable for me and I intend to make this a lifestyle, not a diet. Anyway, after I do miss bread, but have managed to stay away from it or eat keto friendly breadlike items (thank you KNOW Foods). Today I was missing tacos, so I found a recipe for shredded chicken tacos with crunchy shells made entirely from cheddar cheese. I didn't have super high hopes for this satisfying my craving, but I could not have been more wrong! If you haven't tried this trick, you need to. Just thought I'd share!

That sounds delicious! Can you share the recipe please? I also have done hCG in the past and it is miserable because you are starving yourself, literally.0

I’ve done taco in lettuce wraps and was pretty darn good.2

Cheese tacos are amazing! We do them atleast every few weeks. We use 56g of shredded cheddar per taco. We draw a circle on the underside of the parchment, place the paper on a cookie sheet and spread out the cheese to almost the edges then melt them at 425 F for around 9 minutes on parchment paper. We then pull them out, let them rest for about 1 minute or so then drape them over a wooden spoon suspended between to bowls or boxes. After about 4 to 7 minutes they get stiff enough to hold their shape.
I fill them with lettuce and fix'ins first then the meat on the top (it helps to keep some of the juices in the taco).
You have to try it because it is sooo yummmy!!!7 -
I had one for lunch today. I think it's the best Keto recipe! Headbanger's Kitchen makes them in a pan and fries an egg on the top too.0

I found them to be pretty greasy but they sure substitute well for a shell! I was pleasantly surprised.0

I calculated the calories in 56 grams of cheese and decided I best stick to taco salads. 200+ calories per shell.

Ya the calories are higher but we also do IF and occasionally I do OMAD so I need those calories for dinner.
