We absolutely love Mexican flavours and find we are often making dishes with taco seasoning. This easy keto taco casserole recipe gives you all the delicious Mexican flavours from the taco seasoning in an easy to make casserole. Kids will love this keto taco casserole and you might even get away with adding the cauliflower rice without them knowing. To make this keto taco casserole recipe more kid-friendly you can leave out the jalapeños.
Easy Keto Taco Casserole
Casseroles and bakes are really good weekday option. They are usually pretty easy to throw together, pop in the oven and then dinner is ready to go. We also love that the whole meal is all in one dish. With this easy keto taco casserole, it includes your vegetables in the cauliflower rice, so no need for a side with this meal!
This recipe is also going to be one of those meals that you can serve to the whole family, even the kids and the non-keto members of your family. Sometimes, if you just serve the meal up and don’t make a big deal about it being low carb, they will love it and eat it with no complaints.
Bakes and casseroles are also pretty easy to make a low carb version. Check out some of our favourite low carb casseroles and bakes:
Mingle Taco Seasoning
We first found Mingle Seasonings at La Manna Supermarket in Essendon. Since then we are so happy that our favourite online low carb store, Low Carb Emporium now stock them. Their seasoning blends only use herbs and spices with no fillers and no sugar. We love to use them to season our steak, chicken wings, hamburgers and roasting vegetables.
We love the Mingle Sasonings and they have really increased their product range since we found them. They now have 2 different products. They have their original spice blends and meal spice blends. Check them out below.
Original spice blends
Meal Spice blend Sachets
- Spanish Paella (Limited Edition)

If you haven’t tried any of these seasonings yet, we highly recommend them.
Other Taco Seasoning Options
We love that we can access a clean taco seasoning from Mingle, but if you don’t have access to the Mingle Seasonings from Low Carb Emporium, you have a few different options.
- Make your Own. The best recipe we like is from Wholesome Yum. We usually make up a double batch of this recipe and then we store it in a airtight jar.
- If you are in the US, check out Casa de Sante taco seasoning, Riega Organic Taco Seasoning or Select Savory Taco Seasoning. These all have clean ingredients and no fillers or sugar.

We love Low Carb Emporium and place an order with them every couple of months. Although at the moment it feels like we are ordering more like every couple of weeks.
Jack and Yvonne have gone from shipping products out of their garage to now needing a warehouse to distribute all our favourite products. We were lucky enough to be invited to check out their new premises and were impressed by all the wonderful products they have in stock now.

I made the Keto Taco Casserole. It was easy to make and delicious. I didn’t have all the ingredients you listed and made do with what I had on hand. I had a little bit of sour cream and added goat cheese to make up for the difference. I will make it again. It’s nice to make the casserole so that you can have leftovers to make cooking easier.
Thanks
So glad you enjoyed it Diane and yes we love leftovers too!
Thank you for the recipe. I just made it and we will enjoy it for dinner.
I appreciate all your efforts to help all of us by making it a little bit easier to find and make delicious meals.
Thank you so much for your support. Glad you enjoyed the taco casserole.
As soon as I saw this recipe, I knew I wanted to make it for the family. I am the only one who eats low carb, and if you ask my family, they will say they don’t like cauliflower, but everyone loved this. It is easy to make, and I used frozen cauliflower rice from the supermarket, which made it so quick and easy. I made my own seasoning, following the link, which was cheapo and easy, too. Another HBWT recipe to hit high rotation in my house.
Thank you so much Amy! So glad you enjoyed it and the family did too
