Cottage Cheese Taco Shells Recipe (High Protein, Low Carb) | FarmFit Training

These Cottage Cheese Taco Shells are a high-protein, low-carb alternative to traditional tortillas, perfect for a healthy twist on taco night! Made with just two simple ingredients—cottage cheese and egg whites—these shells are packed with protein while remaining soft, flexible, and slightly crispy around the edges. They hold up well to all your favorite taco fillings, making them a great option for those looking to cut back on carbs without sacrificing flavor or texture!

Why Cottage Cheese Taco Shells

If you're cutting carbs but refusing to give up taco night, these are about to become a regular in your kitchen.

Traditional flour tortillas run about 25-30g of carbs each with minimal protein. These cottage cheese taco shells flip that completely. You're getting 18g of protein and only 3g of carbs per shell, and the ingredient list is two items long: cottage cheese and egg whites.

They bake at 400°F for about 18-20 minutes until the edges go golden and crispy. Once they cool, they're flexible enough to fold but sturdy enough to hold whatever you load them with. Arugula, eggs, tomatoes, bacon, pickled onions, ground beef, salsa, whatever you want.

One batch makes 2 shells and takes about 30 minutes from start to table.

If you're tracking macros, these fit into almost any target. High protein, nearly zero carb, and only 2g of fat per shell. At 110 calories each, you can have two shells loaded with toppings and still come in well under most meal targets.
