Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (for frying)
- 4 large Lettuce leaves (for serving, optional)
- 1 medium Sliced avocado (for topping, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Sour cream (for serving, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, egg, cilantro, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until well combined, but do not overmix to avoid tough patties.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into round, flat patties about 1-inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties into the skillet. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust and are fully cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F (71°C).
Transfer the cooked tortas de carne to a plate and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Serve the tortas on large lettuce leaves as a low-carb 'bun' alternative, topped with sliced avocado and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
