KBosh crusts: good for more than just pizza

I’ve had my eye on taco-style appetizer cups for a while, but they’re usually made with wontons or tortillas. While lower carb tortillas do exist, I don’t consider many of them very keto-friendly.

But the veggie pizza crusts from KBosh fit the bill perfectly. And they are extremely versatile. I’ve used them in a number of recipes, including:

• Keto Chicken Pizza
• Enchilada Casserole
• Turkey salad wraps
• Keto Chicken Quesadillas

And right now, KBosh is offering my readers some special savings on their delicious keto crusts.

How to make Keto Taco Cups

This is really quite an ingenious idea, and the Kbosh crusts worked perfectly with a little prepping. Here are my best tips for getting it right:

1. Cut each crust into 4 wedges: The wedges are just the right size to fit into standard size muffin cups.
2. Warm the crust wedges gently: At first, the crusts were too stiff to fold nicely into the muffin tin without cracking. My husband suggested warming them a bit first and it worked perfectly! I did a quick zap in the microwave for each one individually before I folded it into the muffin tin.
3. Bake the crusts first: Pre-baking the crusts in the muffin pan makes the taco cups more crisp and helps them hold together better.
4. Make the taco meat: To save on total time, brown the meat while the crusts are baking.
5. Fill the cups with the meat: Divide the cooked taco meat evenly between the cups and sprinkle with cheese. Then bake for another 5 minutes to melt the cheese and warm everything through completely.
6. Add your favorite taco toppings: Try guacamole, salsa, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, or whatever you like to have on your tacos.
