Keto Chicken & Cheese Shell Tacos This fajita/taco marinade has been our favorite for years. We try to eat these cheese shell tacos once a week on Taco Tuesday. They are fun to make and the marinated boneless chicken taste even better with a quick sous vide and pan fry.

    • Making The Cheese Shells

    • Step 0

      Preheat oven to 350 degrees

    • Step 1

      Full fat cheese works best for a crunchy shell.

    • Step 2

      For each shell I use 1/4 cup of cheese. Place a piece of parliament paper on a cookie sheet and form a circle like this.

    • Step 3

      Bake until golden brown, remove cheese shell and drape over a wooden spoon until it cools and sets.

    • Step 4

      This is how your shells should look.

    • Step 5

      When the chicken has finished cooking, remove from the bag and fry for a minute or two in hot oil, just long enough to carmelize the surface.

    • Step 6

      To Serve: Slice chicken into strips, lay in cheese taco shell and serve with sliced avocado, fresh salsa, grilled poblano peppers, queso fresco slices, shredded lettuce and full fat sour cream.

    • Step 7

      Enjoy!
