Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and well blended.
Add almond flour and eggs to the cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms. Knead the dough a few times until smooth. If the dough becomes sticky, sprinkle a little more almond flour.
Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a circular cutter, approximately 3 inches in diameter, to cut out circles of dough.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
Season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley until well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Place about a teaspoon of the beef mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal. Bring the two pointed ends of the half-moon together to form a tortellini shape, pressing to seal.
Place the tortellini on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Serve warm, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
