Tacos are pretty much off-limits on a low-carb diet.
After all, one hard shell taco has 13g of carbs in it [*]. And let's be honest, when taco night rolls around, you're probably going to have more than one.
But it's a shame to eliminate tacos. They're an easy meal to whip up for a quick weeknight dinner, and also one of the few things everyone in the house will eat.
That's why we created this low-carb taco bowls recipe.
All the ingredients from regular tacos are present: ground beef, spices, avocados, tomatoes, and even jalapeños (if you like it spicy).
But there's one ingredient that sets our low-carb taco bowls apart from other recipes: FBOMB Keto Krunch cheese crisps.
These salty, crunchy low-carb morsels give you all the cheesy flavor and the texture of a hard shell taco with only 1g of carbs per serving.
Sound too good to be true? It's not. Check out the recipe and the benefits below.
Ingredients Needed
- Ground beef
- FBOMB Olive Oil
- Avocados
- Roma tomatoes
- Spices: garlic powder, chili powder, and onion powder
- Chili Lime FBOMB Keto Krunch Cheese Crisps
Health Benefits of this Recipe
There are several ingredients that pack a nutritional punch in these low-carb taco bowls.
- Ground beef is loaded with protein and fat. Protein helps rebuild muscle tissue after exercise and ensures your body can keep regrowing and regenerating new tissues [*]. Fat, on the other hand, is important for the success of low-carb diets, because it's the nutrient that most often replaces carbs [*]. And both nutrients have been shown to keep you full longer after you eat, too, which is great for keeping away hunger cravings [*][*].
- Avocados are loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which reduces your risk of heart disease by keeping your cardiovascular system healthy [*]. They're loaded with healthy fat and even some protein, and have very few carbs. The perfect low-carb food!
- Sour cream adds tang and delicious fat to these taco bowls. Perhaps you didn't know, though, that sour cream is also loaded with vitamins and minerals. It has vitamin E and K, as well as magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and potassium [*].
- Roma tomatoes contain lycopene, an antioxidant found in many naturally red foods. Lycopene is classified as a carotenoid, and can help reduce oxidative damage to cells in your body [*].
- Jalapeño peppers are an optional topping for those who like heat in this low-carb taco bowls recipe. Besides adding a kick to your meal, jalapeños are antibacterial, meaning they can help boost your immune system [*].
As you can see, the benefits are as loaded as these taco bowls are!
But as we mentioned earlier, there's one ingredient in these taco bowls worth highlighting.
