They pair perfectly with a few drops of fresh lime juice or some more low-carb BBQ sauce on top. Enjoy!
How to Make It
Step 1
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Add the butter and olive oil to a frying pan and heat over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic to the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
Add the ground beef, taco seasoning, BBQ sauce, and black pepper. Mix well and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
When done, taste and optionally season with some salt or add black pepper. You can also add a few drops of hot sauce at this point. Set it aside.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Shred the cheddar cheese. Place 1/3 of the shredded cheese at the center of the parchment paper and spread it thinly into a circle.
Step 5
Bake for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese melts and is lightly brown. Cool for 2-3 minutes and fold to create a taco shell. Optionally, drape over a rolling pin placed between two glasses or cans. Repeat with the remaining cheese.
Step 6
Roughly chop the lettuce. Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters. Finely chop the parsley.
Step 7
Divide the meat, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and parsley evenly among the cheddar shells. Alternatively, drizzle some more low-carb barbecue sauce over the meat and sprinkle with lime juice. Serve immediately.
