Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Tomato, diced
- 1 cup Lettuce, shredded
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place small mounds of shredded cheddar cheese (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
Bake the cheese mounds for 5-7 minutes until they are melted and the edges start to turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Then, carefully lift each cheese round with a spatula and drape them over a rolling pin or similar round object to shape them into taco shells as they cool and harden.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the spices to fully incorporate.
Remove the beef mixture from heat and set aside.
To assemble the mini tacos, fill each cheese shell with a spoonful of the beef mixture.
Top with diced tomato, shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly mini tacos.
