Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 small Almond flour tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 medium Sliced avocados
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- to taste Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula.
Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the beef.
Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to combine the spices.
Preheat another skillet or pan over medium heat to warm the tortillas.
Place a small handful of shredded cheese in a circle shape on the skillet, about the size of the tortilla.
Let the cheese melt slightly, then place a tortilla directly on top.
Allow the cheese to cook and crisp up on one side of the tortilla, about 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another minute.
Repeat this process for all tortillas.
To assemble the Cheesy Gordita Crunch, start by adding a layer of romaine lettuce inside the cheesy side of each tortilla.
Add cooked ground beef on top of the lettuce, followed by diced tomatoes and sliced avocados.
Spread a tablespoon of sour cream and optionally add hot sauce to taste.
Fold each tortilla in half to enclose the filling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb cheesy gordita crunch!
