MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- This cheese makes the taco shell and gives it shape. For the most crispy results, use pure milk mozzarella. If possible, remove already-shredded cheese that contains additional starches.
PEPPERONI:
- Pepperoni provides a normal pizza flavor. Turkey pepperoni or sliced salami are great keto choices.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- The use of Parmesan cheese makes the shell crisp and provides a strong flavor. You can use Asiago or Romano in equal parts.
GROUND BEEF OR ITALIAN SAUSAGE:
