A keto diet should not be confused with a taquito diet, but there are jokes. A popular meme shows one saying, “You told me the tacos were Keto,” with the reply, “I said these are taquitos.”

“You told me the tacos were Keto."/"I said these are taquitos” (shown on an image) was posted on Twitter by Gil on September 14, 2019.

“Keto diet? I thought you said taquito diet” is a related meme.


Wikipedia: Ketogenic diet
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used mainly to treat hard-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates.

Wikipedia: Taquito
A taquito (Spanish pronunciation: [taˈkito], Spanish for “small taco"), tacos dorados, rolled taco, or flauta (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈflawta], Spanish for “flute") is a Mexican food dish that typically consists of a small rolled-up tortilla that contains filling, including beef, cheese or chicken. The filled tortilla is then crisp-fried or deep-fried. The dish is often topped with condiments such as sour cream and guacamole. Corn tortillas are generally used to make taquitos; the dish is more commonly known as flautas when they are larger than their taquito counterparts, and can be made with either flour or corn tortillas although using corn is more traditional.
