Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 small Jalapeño, chopped (optional)
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. If desired, stir in the chopped jalapeño for extra heat. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant. Set the beef mixture aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Add the almond flour, cream cheese, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until you have a smooth, dough-like mixture.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a rectangle approximately 10x12 inches in size. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is set and slightly golden.
Remove the cheese crust from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Spread the seasoned beef mixture evenly over the crust.
Carefully roll the crust starting from one of the shorter ends, using the parchment paper to help lift and guide the roll. Roll tightly but gently to avoid cracking.
Once fully rolled, return the roll to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove from the oven and let the Keto Tex-Mex Roll cool slightly before slicing into 1-inch thick portions.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve warm. Enjoy!
