Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 8 pieces Almond flour tortillas
- 3 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole Lime wedges
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, add coconut oil and wait until it melts.
Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until it is browned all over, about 7 minutes.
Mix in the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Combine thoroughly and cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay out the almond flour tortillas and divide the beef mixture evenly among them, placing it in a line across the center of each tortilla.
Roll each tortilla tightly into a cylinder to form flautas and place them seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the flautas with avocado oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the flautas.
