Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cassava flour
- 1.5 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour and salt. Gradually add the water, mixing until a smooth and pliable dough forms.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick. These are your huarache bases.
Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the huaraches two at a time, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and slightly crispy. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining huaraches using the second tablespoon of ghee.
In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the beef, cooking for an additional 3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the cumin and ground coriander, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the beef mixture.
To assemble the huaraches, place each huarache base on a serving plate. Add a layer of the seasoned beef mixture on top.
Top each huarache with shredded romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, and slices of avocado.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the huaraches.
Enjoy your Whole30-compliant huaraches immediately as a fresh and flavorful meal!
