Kids love with these fun Halloween tacos! Keto eyeball tacos are made with sour cream and olives to make a silly face.
Keto Tacos
I’m a huge fan of tacos! I’ve made Mississippi pot roast tacos, salami tacos, and even pumpkin pie tacos.
So I had to make some keto tacos for a Halloween party! It’s the best idea because everyone can make their taco exactly how they want it.
Just set up the taco bar with as many toppings as you can think of and let everyone make their own.
What makes these tacos extra perfect for Halloween? The sour cream and olive eyeballs!
They add a silly and spooky face to the meal, making dinnertime fun for everyone.
Monster Tacos
My monster tacos are really easy to customize. I used sour cream and black olives for the eyes but you can change it up.
If you want to make them look really weird, then layer a bit of green guacamole on top of the sour cream to give the eyeballs some oozy green colors. If you want blue eyes, use blueberries.
And if you want to make the tacos smile, then use the squeezable taco sauce to add a red smile.
Eyeball Tacos
If you don’t like how sour cream tastes, you can make the eyeballs out of fresh mozzarella cheese. Slice a round piece of mozzarella cheese and add the olive on top.
It looks the exact same as the sour cream. I also saw some tacos where someone sliced jalapenos and used them as green eyes instead of the black olives.
Other people sliced Roma tomatoes and use them as red eyeballs. Be creative and have fun with it!
What To Eat With Tacos
Serve your favorite Tex Mex recipes with these delicious and healthy tacos. Start out with some keto Mexican street cauliflower.
They are roasted to perfection and everyone loves them or go with a classic recipe and make keto Mexican cauliflower rice. Or add a cold bold of keto aguachile to the table.
Then, for dessert, serve some crispy keto churros are the perfect treat.
Keto Taco Shells
If you can find keto-friendy hard taco shells, then buy them. Old El Paso sells some, but a lot of grain-free taco shells are actually high in carbs, so always read the nutrition facts before you buy them.
That’s why I prefer to make my own. I bake zero carb tortillas over the rungs of a baking rack and they become crispy.
It’s really easy and only takes about 8 minutes for them to get beautifully crispy.
