Taco Fiesta Bubble Up

This Keto Taco Fiesta Bubble Up is a tasty & entertaining take on traditional tacos. Combine the cheese, ground beef, & keto biscuit dough to create a filling, low-carb meal that’s simple to prepare & ideal for weeknights. The flavors are strong, spicy, creamy, & somewhat acidic because of the taco spice, tomato sauce, & sour cream. The result is a filling Taco Fiesta Bubble Up casserole that seems decadent but remains keto-friendly as everything bakes together, so it gets brown & bubbling. You can add more cheese for richness or jalapeños for spiciness. It’s also excellent for dinner prep because it reheats nicely & retains its flavor.

• One cup of keto biscuit dough
• Two tbsp. jalapeños
• ½ cup mozzarella cheese
• Two tbsp. cilantro

INGREDIENT NOTES:

BEEF:

• This meal has a pleasant texture & a robust, rich flavor because of ground beef. Use 80/20 beef so the delicious & juicy steak remains keto. Drain any extra fat to prevent greasiness.

OLIVE OIL:

• Olive oil gives the steak a pleasant, mild flavor & aids in even browning. Additionally, it prevents the garlic & onions from sticking during sautéing. Use extra virgin for optimal flavor.

ONIONS:

• The filling gains depth & natural sweetness from the onion. Chop it finely so that it mixes in with the meat. You can use shallots instead for a softer flavor.

GARLIC:

• Garlic adds a warm, fragrant aroma to the taco spice. Use garlic powder in an emergency, but fresh chopped garlic is the finest for flavor.

TACO SEASONING:

• Taco seasoning adds a robust, traditional Mexican flavor. Make your own with chili powder, paprika, cumin, & oregano, or buy a sugar-free blend.

TOMATO SAUCE:

• The meat mixture retains its taste & moisture because of the tomato sauce. Use a low-carb or unsweetened version to limit the amount of carbohydrates. It properly balances the spice.

SOUR CREAM:

• The addition of tangy flavor & smoothness from sour cream unifies the entire dish. It also contributes to a rich, velvety texture when baked.

CHEDDAR CHEESE:

• Cheddar cheese offers a strong, salty flavor & melts delightfully. It creates a sticky coating that keeps everything in place. You can add some pepper jack for more heat.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

• Mozzarella cheese provides the elastic, melty quality that is enjoyed by everybody. It combines with cheddar to create a well-balanced, cheesy topping that bakes up flawlessly.

KETO BISCUIT DOUGH:

• The keto biscuit dough produces a “bubble up” effect. It gets a little crisp on top & soft inside. Almond flour is used to keep the carbs low, and it makes the finest dough.

JALAPENOS:

• Jalapenos brighten the taste & give a little kick with jalapeños. Omit them or add them for spice if you want a milder dish.

CILANTRO:

• Cilantro offers a mild herbal aroma & a vibrant burst of color to counterbalance the richness. Sprinkle just before serving for optimal flavor.

SALT & PEPPER:

• Salt & pepper balance all the flavors. Simmer the meat mixture & adjust to taste before baking.
