After lots of experiments, I finally developed this recipe which allowed the dough to be deep fried nicely without melting in the hot oil - hugely thanks to the egg white powder. If you missed the crunch in taco shells, you have to try this.

DIRECTIONS FOR TACO SHELLS
1. In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients until well combined.
2. Add the hot or boiling water and mix until a dough is formed. Shape into a ball and divide the dough into 40 g portions. This recipe makes about 6 to 7 taco shells.
3. Option 1 - Roll the dough between 2 parchment papers until a thin layer. Then use any suitable utensil to cut into a round shape and remove excess dough. Option 2 - Use a tortilla press which makes it super easy. To prevent sticking to the tortilla press, line parchment papers between the dough.
4. Baked version - place the dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper then brush both sides with oil. Bake in preheated oven at 350F or 180C for 5 minutes just until slightly firm. Remove and place between the gaps of the back of a muffin tin. Then bake again for 8 to 10 minutes until golden browned. Deep fried version - Heat up a pan with sufficient oil. In the video, I used coconut oil, but you can use any keto friendly oil. Cook the dough over medium heat. Once the dough is slightly firm, use a tong to fold the sides leaving a sufficient gap in the middle. Fry until totally golden browned then remove the shell. Be careful not to allow the gap at the middle to close up during the frying process.
5. Once the taco shells are cooled down, they will become crispy.
6. It is best to fry or bake the taco shells just before eating so that they are fresh and crispy.
7. These taco shells can be kept in an airtight container for up to a week. At any point of time, when the taco shells become softer, just pop them into the oven or mini toaster oven and bake for a few minutes and they will crisp up again.
DIRECTIONS TO COOK THE TACO BEEF FILLINGS
1. Stir fry the onions with oil for a while.
2. Add the ground beef and cook for a while.
3. Add the tomato sauce, seasonings and cook until well combined.
4. Lastly, add the bell peppers.
5. Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly.
6. Set aside the fillings while you make the shells. - Навчання та стиль

The only thing missing is seeing you take a bite! LOL! 😂
Seriously, these look good!
You asked for our tips, so here is mine: I gotta say, I love my cast iron tortilla press! I bought it on sale on Amazon. It would have been worth every penny at full price! I just cut open a zip-lock like a book and lay it inside, then spritz with oil and boom! I use it for everything I want evenly flattened. Tortillas, pie crusts, pita breads, crackers, cookies, pasta dough before cutting, etc. I also have used it to press veggies like zucchini, and eggplant into "pancakes" for frying. I make spiralized noodles with flax seed and water and form them into balls and press into "Patties" using it. The thing is a wonder and I wish I would have had one years ago, but it is especially great for gluten free dough. It is fast and efficient!
I absolutely agree with you. Tortilla press saves so much work. You certainly make much more use of it which is great. I also used it for these dough but as I wanted the cut dough to be thinner, I just rolled it out a bit after the tortilla press. Thanks so much for sharing 🙏

Elsie, I could just hug you right now! I recently found your site and all your recipe videos are so clear and concise. I took a chance to make your keto tortillas...wasn't expecting success because Ive failed before (let's blame it on the psyllium husk), but what a wonderful surprise. This tortilla dough is SO forgiving and turned out so crispy and held together under pressure of the filling. Now since you don't have a patreon page, I'll be purchasing all 3 of your cookbooks. Thank you SO MUCH ❤
Awww... thank you so much for your support and feedback, Donna 🙏 ❤️🥰
Nice & crunchy! Thanks Elsie ❤️
Love your channel. Thanks so much for all your vids and research!
Awww... thank you so much for your support 🙏
These look really good…..Thanks Elsie. 🤩
Thanks Judith ❤️
That would be perfect for tortilla chips too! Thanks!
Absolutely!
Low crab thank you so much this recipe I am going to try it and I'll let you know thank you again for all of your recipes and putting your recipes down so we can see it stay good love one of your subscribers and I'm going to get the other book as well. Thanks love.
Thank you for your support 🙏
Low carb how you doing love your recipe below you said one cup of almond flour in your video demonstration recipe you have 1 and 1/4 now I'm confused can you explain thk you
@billnails9471 Oh I am so sorry. It should be 150 g (1 1/4 cups). I will amend the written recipe accordingly. Thanks for highlighting 🙏
@@lowcarbrecipeideas thank you it's good to know that. I'm so glad to know
@billnails9471 I have just amended accordingly at the description box and written recipe. So glad you highlighted the error to me. Thanks again 😊
Elsie, you are so, clever! I never thought of putting the tortillas on the back of a cupcake pan to make a taco shell! What a great technique.
Every time I see your videos, I wonder why you didn’t smile or show enthusiasm for the books you published. You look so sad when you show the books.
Thanks Judy! I'll try to take a more cheerful picture the next time hehe..
These look so delicious! Can the egg white powder be substituted? Thank you for your terrific work!
Other than whey protein powder, I am afraid you can't replace it with anything else. It took many experiments and most low carb flours just melted in the hot oil. It was only successful after I added the egg white powder. Even though I have not tried with whey protein powder but I think it would work too.
@@lowcarbrecipeideas Thank you 😊
Thanks for the video. You have great recipes. I can’t have almond flour so was wondering if coconut flour could be substituted for the almond flour? If so, what amount of coconut flour would you suggest?
Let me experiment with it first, and I'll update accordingly 🙏
@@lowcarbrecipeideas Thank so much. Greatly appreciated it.
Can I replace almond flour with Sunflower seed flour? 1:1 ratio?
You can but I am not sure whether the ratio of other ingredients will be the same. If you try it, let me know how it turns out. When I have the time, I will also try it out and update accordingly 🙏
can the physillum husk be substituted? I don't like the texture when using it, kind of tastes slimy. Looks good though.
Psyllium Husks is necessary to allow the dough to be shaped and rolled out. May be you can replace with xanthan gum but the amount of water may be different. However for this recipe, the psyllium husk is not noticeable at all. It's just pure crunchy goodness with the yummy fillings. Actually I will be publishing a short video tonight showing a family member eating the taco over a taco party. So you will be able to see how crispy the taco shell is.
Maybe try ground flax seed??? Or ground chia seed?
I'm not a fan of psyllium husk either, BUT IT WORKS in this recipe. Thanks to Elsie for this ingenious recipe!
Egg white powder excuse me wwhere can i find it? I love your recipes 🤍
You can get it from online stores. The brand I used is NuNaturals
@@lowcarbrecipeideasMuchas gracias,🙏
One word....AMAZON
Can the recipe be made nut free and the almond flour be substituted?
Let me experiment with the nut free flour first and I'll update accordingly 🙏
Can i used liquid egg white to substitute powder n water?
Frankly I have not tried that so am unable to advise. I will experiment with it later and update accordingly 🙏
hi what is the update about using fresh egg white, and how many
