Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 7 minutes
Total Time 17 minutes
Servings: 7 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups pre-shredded mozzarella 225 g, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour 25 g
  • 2 teaspoons psyllium husk powder

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • food processor or electric mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • rolling pin or hands
  • large saucepan or oven rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the room-temperature shredded mozzarella, coconut flour, and psyllium husk powder in a food processor or in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until the mixture resembles small crumbs.
  3. On the prepared parchment, draw seven 6-inch (15 cm) circles as guides using a round object.
  4. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture onto each circle and spread it inside the drawn circle.
  5. Place a second sheet of parchment over the shells and press the dough down firmly with your hands or a rolling pin until compact and evenly thin.
  6. Remove the top parchment and bake for 7 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
  7. Carefully remove the shells from the oven and drape each one over the side of a large saucepan (or over an oven rack set above the sink) so they hang and form a taco shape; let cool completely to crisp.

Notes

  • Nutrition: 1.1 g net carbs per taco shell; recipe makes 7 shells.
  • Add spices like cumin or chili to the dough for extra flavor.
  • If you lack a large pot, use an oven rack over the sink to shape shells.
  • Psyllium and coconut flour make the shells crispier and sturdier than mozzarella alone.
  • Two filled tacos make a satisfying serving for most adults.
