Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Low-carb tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush both sides of the low-carb tortillas with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the tortillas for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden and crispy, turning halfway through. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon.
Add the taco seasoning and water to the beef, stirring to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid is absorbed.
While the beef is simmering, chop the romaine lettuce and dice the tomato and avocado.
To assemble the tostadas, begin by layering each baked tortilla with ground beef.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped lettuce, diced tomato, and avocado slices.
Add a dollop of sour cream to each tostada and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb Mexican feast!
