I’ve been looking forward to making this keto taco rolls recipe. I made a batch of taco meat on Sunday and my husband has been trying to eat it all week. I had to keep slapping his taco-stealing hands and saying I AM MAKING A RECIPE WITH THAT all week long.
Well the wait is finally over (for me, and also probably him!) I’ve been baking cheese into all kinds of things lately, and after a few rounds of baking cheddar, I knew this one couldn’t possibly fail. And it came out SO GOOD.
They’re more like little burritos, but you really can only eat one. Thanks to all the cheese, these keto taco rolls really fill you up quickly! Add a little salad on the side, and you’re good!
Cheddar-Wrapped Keto Taco Rolls
Servings: 3
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes
Nutritional Facts: 2g Net Carbs| 491 Calories | 35g Fat | 2g Carbs | 37g Protein | 0g Fiber
Ingredients:
For the “crust”
- 2 cups, grated cheddar cheese or enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
For the filling:
- 1 cup taco meat (cooked and seasoned ahead of time)
- 1/4 cup, chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 of a chopped avocado
- 2 tsp Sriracha mayo or taco sauce
- (You can really add any other taco toppings you like, olives, onions, etc)
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Cover a small baking sheet with parchment paper (important) leaving some on the sides so you can lift the cheese up and out when it’s done.
- Grease the parchment paper lightly, especially around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese to cover the baking sheet with one layer (this may be more than 2 cups if you have a larger baking sheet).
- Add to oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until it bubbles and browns on top.
- Remove from oven and see if you can lightly slide a silicone spatula under all the edges and then also under the middle.
- If not, add back to the oven until you can. And once you can, add taco meat and cook for another 5-10 minutes or until hot.
- In the meantime, combine the rest of the toppings in a bowl. You can add whatever toppings you like, just be sure it’s a thin layer of toppings in the end so you can roll easily later on.
- Remove from oven, then remove from baking pan by holding the sides of the parchment paper.
- Add the cold toppings in a single layer.
- Looking at the cheese horizontally, use a pizza cutter to slice top to bottom and make 3-4 slices.
- Making sure the parchment isn’t sticking, roll each slice from bottom to top. Enjoy with a salad of any leftovers you have from the rolls!
Here’s how it looked before it got sliced & rolled. You can add whatever toppings you like. I went for tomatoes, avocado, sriracha mayo, and some cilantro. Feel free to add onions, olives, or even chopped lettuce! Just make sure you’ve chopped beforehand because you don’t want to let it cool before you roll it!

Dinner tonight was cheddar wrapped taco rolls! Awesome. You are a genius!
My husband and I started keto a week ago, I just found your website yesterday. Kudos! It is great!
I made the peanut butter cups this afternoon. Yummy.
Can’t wait to try more of your recipes.
Woo! So glad you loved them 🙂
My cheese got so crisp it was more like a cracker. I was waiting for some browning to happen but it just dried out too quick. Great recipes though! Thank you. I’ll try it again with a thicker layer of cheese maybe? I used sharp cheddar. Not sure that made a difference
Hmmm, I used a small baking pan, it could be that yours may have been bigger? It should be a solid layer of cheddar cheese, that’ the most important thing for any size baking sheet. Enough to cover the whole bottom without holes. I imagine a thin layer cooked too long would probably end up like crackers (which actually taste delicious sliced into triangles and dipped in guacamole, I’ve made that too) 🙂
“taco meat” That cracks me up. Whatever happened to “seasoned ground beef”?
Nevertheless, I will try this recipe. Looks delicious.
Because maybe I want to use “seasoned ground pork” or “seasoned ground bison” or “seasoned ground pretentious person”…
LMAO
You can “season” meat in many different ways, this happens to taste like “taco” so it is referred to taco meat.
Are the nutrition facts per taco or for the entire dish?
They’re per serving (there are 3) so if you make 3 tacos it will be per taco. You can also make smaller ones and just keep the three servings in mind.
Hello
Am i just missing it ? I cant seem to find a print button to print recipes?
I would love to know what you use to season the meat! We have been trying to get away from using the taco and burrito seasoning packets but haven’t found a good recipe.
cumin, chili powder, paprika, pinch of fennel, salt, pepper, garlic, and onions.
Good. But greasy. So much oil from the cheese.
Do you think they are okay to make ahead and reheat for lunches?
Did you ever get a response for this?
I think they could handle a light reheat. What I’d do is maybe roll them in parchment before refrigerating, then heat while rolled and let cool a little before eating. I haven’t tried it though! Let me know how it turns out.

Awesome recipe! My family and I loved this! We feel like we got to enjoy a taco! In fact, I think it’s better than a taco!!
How do you reheat?
These were so good, served them with sour cream and guacamole.

Better than any tacos I ever had!

We did a combo of mont. jack & cheddar and it was excellent.
