How to Make Keto Taco Salad {Quick Overview}

This is just a quick overview of some of the steps involved in making the low carb taco salad. For the recipe in detail, including exact measurements used at each step, scroll to the recipe card at the end of the post.

Step 1: Make the Taco Meat

Preheat a large skillet to medium-high heat. When skillet is hot, add crumbled ground beef.

Cook the beef thoroughly, then reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the keto taco seasoning evenly over the ground beef, mix to combine, then allow to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture has thickened slightly.

Remove skillet from heat. You will add the beef to the taco salad last.

TIP: It’s personal preference as to how long you wait to add the beef to the salad. I personally wait until it has cooled off a bit because I don’t like the lettuce to wilt or the cheese to melt.

Step 2: Make the Taco Salad

Create the salad using all of the other ingredients (sour cream optional), adding the beef last. Mix the ingredients in a large serving bowl so it resembles the inside of a taco.

Serve and enjoy!

To store: This salad will last for up to two days in the fridge in a tightly sealed container. (The avocado will begin to brown, but it will still taste good!)
