Quick & Easy Keto Taco Dip
Have I mentioned how much I love taco Tuesdays? There are so many delicious ways to combine seasoned meat, cheese, veggies, and spices while packing in plenty of flavor and minimal carbs. This keto taco dip recipe has become one of my favorites, since it’s a great way to repurpose taco Tuesday leftovers and it’s super quick and easy to make. It’s also a hit with non-ketoers too, so you can whip up a double batch (or more!) for a party or get together this summer and make everyone happy.
I usually enjoy this keto taco dip with my low carb pita chips, but it’s also great with pork rinds, flax crackers, or cauliflower crackers. I tend to stick with taco seasoned ground beef as the protein, but I suspect barbacoa, carnitas, or shredded chicken would work well too! You can also up the spice with some cayenne or chipotle, or mix up the toppings as desired.
