Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup mini pepperoni slices
- ¼ cup low-carb pizza sauce
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ cup cooked sausage or ground beef (optional)
- 2 tbsp sliced olives (optional)
- 2 tbsp chopped bell peppers (optional)

Why These Ingredients Work
Mozzarella cheese forms a crispy taco shell while staying keto-friendly, and classic pizza toppings add bold flavor without extra carbs.
Ingredient Notes
- Mozzarella Cheese: Use full-fat, low-moisture mozzarella for the crispiest shells.
- Pizza Sauce: Choose a sugar-free or low-carb brand to keep carbs low.
- Pepperoni: Mini pepperoni distributes evenly for balanced flavor.
- Italian Seasoning: Brings that unmistakable pizza aroma.
- Optional Toppings: Customize just like pizza — mushrooms, sausage, or olives all work well.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat the skillet.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up. - Create the cheese base.
Sprinkle ½ cup mozzarella into a circle in the skillet, forming a thin, even layer. - Add pizza toppings.
Sprinkle pepperoni, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and any additional toppings evenly over the cheese. - Cook until crispy.
Let the cheese melt and bubble until the edges turn golden and crisp, about 2–3 minutes. - Add sauce carefully.
Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce into the center while keeping edges crispy. - Fold into tacos.
Carefully lift and fold the cheese round in half to form a taco shape. - Let it set.
Cook for another 30–60 seconds, then transfer to a plate to firm up. - Repeat and garnish.
Make remaining tacos and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
