Description

Flavor-packed low-carb taquitos filled with juicy beef, perfect for a guilt-free meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20 or 85/15)
  • 2 tbsp Taco Seasoning
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese (cheddar and mozzarella mix)
  • 8 Almond Flour Tortillas
  • Olive Oil (for frying)
  • Fresh Cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, add your ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Spice it Up: Drain any excess fat and add taco seasoning with a splash of water. Stir well and simmer for a few minutes.
  3. Creamy Blend: Stir in softened cream cheese until fully combined and melted into the beef.
  4. Roll It Up: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Use almond flour tortillas to roll up the beef mixture tightly.
  5. Fry Time: Brush each taquito with olive oil. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
  6. Serve with Style: Let them cool for a few minutes, then serve garnished with fresh cilantro and dipping sauces.

Notes

Feel free to swap out the beef for shredded chicken or make them vegetarian with sautéed veggies.
