🛒 Ingredients

For the Keto Dough

• 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tbsp cream cheese
• ¾ cup almond flour
• 1 large egg
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp garlic powder

For the Taco Filling

• 1 lb (450 g) lean ground beef
• ½ small onion, finely diced (optional; omit for stricter keto)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1½ tbsp sugar-free taco seasoning
• ½ tsp cumin
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp low-carb salsa
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp cream cheese
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro

For the Topping

• 1 tbsp melted butter
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp dried parsley
• 2 tbsp shredded Parmesan

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the filling: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess grease if necessary.
2. Add garlic and optional onion. Cook for 2–3 minutes.
3. Add taco seasoning, cumin, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Stir well.
4. Mix in the salsa and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in cream cheese until creamy, then add cheddar and cilantro. Remove from heat and let cool.
6. Make the keto dough: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
7. Stir in almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
8. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it into a thin rectangle. Cut into 8 triangular pieces.
9. Place a small amount of taco filling on the wide end of each triangle. Roll toward the point, gently tucking the filling inside.
10. Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
11. Mix melted butter with garlic powder and parsley. Brush lightly over the rolls and sprinkle with Parmesan.
12. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
13. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
