I love me a good taco. Who doesn’t?
They’re the Mexican version of sandwich and they’re spicy and delicious. Also, it’s WAY easier to make a grain-free version of a taco and make it taste good than it is to make a grain-free version of a sandwich. Have you tried grain-free bread?
Not so good.
Have you tried my taco shell recipe?!
It’s freaking awesome.
I use tapioca flour, which is a safe starch and easy to digest. I like to add garlic and chipotle powder to the taco shell, but you can use any spice you like. Or not. Do your own thang.

Can you post nutrition facts and how many servings the above recipe makes? Thanks these look wonderful! Can’t wait to try them!
I actually don’t recommend counting calories, carbs, fat so I cannot provide the nutrition facts. The recipe above is for two people. Hope you like it!
Its SO annoying when people ask for the nutrition details. The person took the time to come up with the recipe that’s a lot in and of itself. There are apps you can use to look up all the ingredients folks!…thank you for the recipe Dani.
Dani~
Do you think Almond flour can be easily substituted?
Thanks!

I don’t think that would work.
These look great! But since there is so little flour used do they have an eggy flavor?
Maybe a little. You can add spices like garlic, turmeric, cumin, etc to cover it though.
