Substitutions for Keto Tacos
Here are a few ideas on how you can change up this pizza to make it suit your personal preferences:
- Taco seasoning– here is a great recipe for homemade taco seasoning that lowers the sodium content from the store bought packet
- Meat– I used ground beef, but you can use whatever you prefer! Ground chicken, turkey, or a meat substitute (like Beyond Beef or another plant based ground meat product) would work great here. Or a shredded crock pot chicken with taco seasoning would be tasty. You could also change it up and add black beans or refried beans!
- Cheese– Of course, you can use whatever type of cheese you like. Pepperjack for a little spice, a Mexican blend or of course, queso!
- Toppings– This is where everyone in the family can make their pizza their own! Lay out a buffet of options, whatever you like! I would definitely set out sour cream, chopped jalapenos, a tomato salsa and a tomatillo salsa, shredded lettuce, avocado slices or guacamole, chopped tomatoes- really anything that you enjoy on a taco can be put on this pizza!

I love this Roasted Tomatillo Salsa Recipe, served with your favorite Keto Nachos. These Keto Cheesy Zucchini Breadsticks will make your family wonder where you hid the take out box!

Now, for dessert! Whenever I think of dessert on pizza night, my mind always goes to cinnamon. Thankfully, I have these amazing Keto Cinnamon Rolls, which I could seriously eat an entire pan of on my own. If you’ve got a cookie lover in your house, we’ve also got these Keto Snickerdoodles!

Keto Taco Pizza
Ingredients
Pizza Crust
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons ground flax meal
- 1 egg white beaten until it has tripled in volume (optional, see notes below)
Pizza Toppings
- 1 1/2 pounds cooked seasoned taco meat
- 1 4 ounce can mild green chiles, drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup lettuce shredded
- 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1/4 cup green onions chopped
Instructions
For the Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In a microwave proof mixing bowl combine 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 ounces cream cheese. Heat in 30 second increments, stirring in between until completely melted. Add the almond flour and ground flax meal. Mix the dough well until it begins to form a soft dough, fold in the beaten egg white if using.
- Spread onto a greased pizza pan. I had a roughly 10-11 inch crust.
- Pre-bake the crust for 7 minutes. It should be slightly brown.
To Assemble:
- Spread the prepared taco meat over the crust, top with the drained green chilies, and remaining shredded cheese. Bake for 7-8 minutes on the top rack, until the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes. Top with the vegetables and serve immediately.
Notes
- Egg White: If you prefer a crispy, thin crust leave the egg out. If you prefer a more traditional pan crust add the egg white. It will help the crust rise and be softer instead of crisp.
