Ingredients
Filling
1 lb ground beef
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp cream cheese
1 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp sugar-free ketchup
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt & pepper to taste
Cheese “Shell”
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Optional Toppings

Instructions
1. Cook the Beef
Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
2. Mix the Filling
Add bacon, cream cheese, cheddar, mustard, sugar-free ketchup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until creamy and well combined.
3. Make Cheese Shells
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, form small circles of mozzarella mixed with Parmesan.
Bake 5–7 minutes until melted and golden at the edges.
4. Shape Taquitos
Let cheese cool for 30–60 seconds until flexible.
Add beef filling, then carefully roll into taquito shapes.
5. Crisp Them Up
Place rolled taquitos seam-side down and bake 5–8 more minutes until crispy.
6. Serve
Top with pickles, extra cheese, or low-carb burger sauce.
Q&A
Are these really keto?
Yes. They are low in carbs, high in fat, and use no flour or tortillas.
Can I air fry them?
Absolutely. Air fry at 375°F for 5–6 minutes after rolling for extra crispiness.
Can I use turkey instead of beef?
Yes, ground turkey works well but add a little extra seasoning for flavor.
Why is my cheese shell breaking?
It was either under-melted or over-cooled. Roll while still warm and flexible.
Can I meal prep these?
Yes. Store in the fridge up to 4 days and reheat in oven or air fryer.
