Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Water
- 4 large Low-carb tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Guacamole
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce
- 1 medium Tomato, diced
- 2 tablespoons Jalapeño slices
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 7-8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the beef, then add the taco seasoning and water. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is melted and creamy.
Heat the low-carb tortillas according to the package instructions or briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat to make them pliable.
To assemble the burritos, lay a tortilla flat and spread 1/4 cup of cheese sauce over the center, leaving the edges clear.
Layer 1/4 of the seasoned beef on top of the cheese sauce.
Next, add a layer of 2 tablespoons of sour cream and 1/4 cup of guacamole.
Add a layer of romaine lettuce, diced tomato, and a few jalapeño slices.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Serve immediately with any additional toppings such as more cheese, sour cream, or guacamole if desired.
