Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Remove from heat.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Place small piles of shredded cheddar cheese (about 1/4 cup each, flattened into thin circles) onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each pile.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cheese to cool for about 1 minute, until it can be handled but is still pliable.
Working quickly while each cheese circle is still pliable, place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto one end and carefully roll it up, forming a flauta shape.
Repeat the process with the remaining cheese circles and beef mixture.
Garnish with avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, and fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
