Keto Cheese Tortilla Taco shells with Chicken, Lettuce and Ranch Dressing

Would you love a cheesy chicken taco, but you're Keto? We've got you! crunchy, cheesy, chicken-y, Low Carb AND Gluten-Free - you're welcome!

Tacos are a traditional Mexican favourite and one of the most popular street foods across the world! By making your own cheesy taco shells which are grain-free, gluten-free and Keto friendly, you can have your taco and eat it!

What are Tacos?

Tacos are a traditional Mexican dish which are conventionally made using corn or wheat tortillas stuffed with combinations of meat, fish or veggie fillings. Their hand-sized shape makes them the ideal street food, but it's their amazing Mexican flavours which makes tacos something many of us now enjoy at home too!

How Can I Make Keto Friendly Tacos?

Wheat and corn tortillas are not an option for anyone following a Keto, Gluten-Free, Low Carb or Paleo lifestyle. Making your own taco tortilla shells using one ingredient - cheese - not only makes them suitable for these lifestyles but is also super easy and incredibly delicious!

Hunter & Gather Ranch Avocado Oil Dressing

One of the main components of a great taco is a delicious sauce. If enjoying a taco does not equate to a crunchy mess with sauce making its way out of the taco and onto your hands and chin, then you're doing tacos wrong!

This recipe uses our Avocado Oil Ranch Dressing, which is made using 100% avocado oil along with some amazing real food ingredients, herbs and spices. It's Keto, Paleo and Low Carb friendly, as well as free from gluten.

Using our ranch dressing as a meaty marinade for your cooked chicken is a nutritious and delicious way to achieve the saucy taco everyone craves - minus the additives, sugars and seed oils you'd find in most ordinary ranch sauces.
