Keto Steak Tacos with Cheese Shells

Keto Steak Tacos with Cheese Shells, recipes, keto, ketogenic, ketosis, ketones, low carb, tacos, steak, jaime messina, pruvit, exogenous ketones,

I know what I am doing this Taco Tuesday!!! Who's coming to join? Seriously though these steak tacos were really easy and quick to make. The cheese shells were on point and were just like regular taco shells. Next time around I am thinking about turning this dish into nachos!!
Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 New York strip steak
  • 1/4 stick butter
  • diced lettuce, for topping
  • diced tomato, for topping
  • sour cream, for topping
  • sliced avocado, for topping
  • sliced jalapeño, for topping
  • lime zest, for topping


Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a Silpat. Set out four glasses that are similar in height and rest a wooden cooking spoon over each pair of glasses. These suspended spoons will be used to shape the tortillas.
  2. Divide cheese into three mounds on top of lined sheet pan. Use hand to flatten and spread cheese into circles spaced 1-2 inches apart. Bake for 10-15 minutes or cheese appears lacy and is golden-brown on the edges.
  3. Use a spatula to carefully drape tortillas over suspended spoons to create tortilla shape. Allow to dry and harden.
  4. Meanwhile, sprinkle taco seasoning over both sides of the steak. You may not use the whole packet.
  5. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. If using a grill pan, melt butter over the top and allow to brown slightly. For medium rare or medium steak, cook for 2-3 minutes. Rotate steak 90 degrees using a fork, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Flip steak with a fork, and repeat process. Remove steak onto a plate and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes, before slicing into thin strips against the grain.
  6. To assemble, fill taco shells with a pinch of lettuce, a few strips of steak, a dollop of sour cream, a smattering of diced tomato and avocado, a few thin slices of jalapeño.

Recipe Thursday: Fall Detox Vegetable Soup

Image
I am a Boston girl born and raised but honestly I am cold more often than not. For that reason as soon as summer ends I start to get sad and panic about how I am going to keep myself warm all winter. One way that works for me is to make a lot of warm soups so that I can warm myself up from the inside out!  When I posted the choices for this week's Recipe Thursday , the concern over the word "detox" was thoroughly entertaining. Trust me, I get it. In the past, the word detox meant spending an entire day in the....well you get the point. As I came to learn more about nutrition I began to understand that "detox" does not mean that you will not be able to leave your house for days, all it means is that you are cleansing your body of toxins in a healthy way.  I kid, I kid...my point is that the Fall Vegetable Detox Soup was the winner this week and eating it does not mean that you will have to cancel your plans for the day. I found this soup reci

What a Day of Meals Looks Like on the 3-Day Refresh.

Image
The 3-Day Refresh Cleanse came out last week, and I am sure you are all wondering what a day of meals would look like if you were to do this cleanse. I have decided to put this post together so that I can simply show you how the cleanse will go day by day.  Day 1-  (Upon waking drink 8-10 oz. of filtered water.) Breakfast(within 1 hour of waking): Shakeology blended in 1 1/4 cups filtered water. Plus 1 serving from the fruit list. I chose half of a banana and actually added it into my shake. I added ice, and cinnamon which is on the guilt-free flavorings list that they provide us. I made it the same way all 3 days. Optional: Morning Tea (at least one hour after breakfast) 1 cup unsweetened herbal or green tea. (stevia sweetener allowed) I chose not to do this because I was fine drinking my water.  Mid-Morning(at least 1 hour after morning tea): Fiber Sweep (digestive health drink) mixed in 1 cup filtered water. The first day I did not add enough
