Being on keto, or any diet really, sometimes means giving up on long-time favorite dishes. For me, that’s the taquito. Those tightly packed and deep fried bundles of deliciousness were at the top of my most missed foods list. But no longer! These Cheesy Keto Beef Taquitos (try saying that out loud a few times fast) are perfect for filling that taquito-shaped hole in my stomach, and all while keeping me in ketosis.

One of the biggest differences between these Cheesy Keto Beef Taquitos and regular taquitos is that no flour tortillas are used. Instead, the shells are made entirely of cheese. These also don’t require any deep frying. The cheesy shells are baked in the oven before the taquitos take shape and once together they’re done.

This is definitely one of those easy recipes that comes together quicker than expected. I typically try to make these right before I’m ready to eat so they don’t have too much time to cool. You can reheat these in the oven, but they’re so much better when eaten right away. Enjoy!
