Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 6 pieces Low-carb tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is transparent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook while breaking up the meat with a spatula until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the beef is well seasoned.
Remove from heat and let the beef mixture cool slightly.
Place a low-carb tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture along the center of the tortilla. Top with about 2-3 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese.
Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go to prevent leakage. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Place crispitos seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each with melted butter for extra crispiness.
Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm with optional sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
