Keto Taco Protein Options: The Meat of the Matter

The meat in tacos is sort of the main feature of the meal for most people. There are so many options! Here are some of my absolute favorites.

Keto Sweet Pork

Remember that tasty sweet prok you get at Cafe Rio or Coasta Vida? Now it’s got a keto version! This keto sweet pork is great on so many dishes, and that includes keto diet tacos.

This keto pork is also yummy on a Keto Sweet Pork Salad with Tomatillo Dressing!

Super Keto Taco Meat

We couldn’t be talking tacos if we didn’t mention our favorite ground beef taco meat!

This taco meat has a lot of character. It’s packed full of flavors you have sitting around your kitchen, but might not have thought to include in your taco meat, like tomato paste and mayo.

Sounds intriguing? Your taste buds won’t let you down!

Keto Friendly Tortilla Options

The tortilla part is probably the most difficult at first when you start keto. It’s extremely difficult to find a keto tortilla that has the same properties as a gluten-filled flour tortilla. But I have a few options for you to choose from!

Taco Avocado Boats–Keto Stuffed Avocados!

These taco avocados are genius! Instead of topping your taco with avocados, just slice the avocado in half and make a taco avocado boat.

You can eat them as-is, or bake in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese and make the avocado warm and creamy.

If you haven’t tried baking an avocado yet, this is the recipe to try it on! The first question I usually get asked is, “Does that make the avocado brown?” The answer is no, it doesn’t. (Check out the photo below.)

At the right temperature and baked for just a short amount of time, baking the avocado just makes it warm and creamy (and delicious!).

Tip: Place the avocado on a muffin tin to bake so that the halves don’t tip over and spill the filling out.

Keto Lettuce Wraps (Taco-style!)

And the absolute easiest keto taco award goes to….the Keto Lettuce Wrap Tacos!

Could there possibly be anything easier than swapping out a tortilla for a leaf of lettuce? I used romaine here, but you can use any other leaf lettuce, like butter lettuces, to put your taco toppings in.
