Change up Taco Tuesday with this recipe for Keto Taco Bake. You can serve it on a dish and eat it that way or my family likes to put it on a tortilla shell with some hot sauce and other toppings. However you serve it, it’s delicious! I find this recipe easy to make and can dinner can be done in no time at all. If you want to make it hotter you can always diced up some jalepeno peppers if you wish. Enjoy!

Can you have tomatoes on keto?

Yes, you can as they are a keto approved fruit. They have about 4 grams of carbs per half cup. They are also low in sugar at about 2 grams per half cup. They also have fiber and other nutrients that you definitely need in your diet and may lack from the keto diet. While they are keto friendly you should eat in moderation just like anything else and track your calories to stay on track.
