Ingredients
  

Toppings

  • guacamole, cilantro, salsa & cream sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat avocado oil in skillet and sauté onion for 3-4 minutes over medium heat.
  • Add ground beef and cook, stirring often, breaking up into smaller pieces until fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Next, add spices and coconut aminos to the ground beef and simmer 2-3 minutes more.
  • Transfer meat to a bowl and let cool for a couple of minutes.
  • While meat mixture is cooling, chop and prepare toppings.
  • Mix dairy-free cream cheese into the meat mixture. This adds flavor and makes it easier to roll up tortillas.
  • Heat the almond flour tortillas for a few minutes in oven or microwave right before adding the filling mixture. This helps the tortillas roll up without breaking.
  • Stuff each tortilla with ground beef mixture and tightly roll. 
  • Lay each tortilla on sheet pan, brush with avocado oil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until crispy and browned. Make sure to start checking at 20 minutes.
  • Top tortillas with your favorite toppings and cream sauce. We like to dip the tortillas in coconut aminos.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

    • Heat the almond flour tortilla for a few minutes in oven or microwave right before adding the filling mixture. This helps the tortillas roll up without breaking.
    • Make sure to only use a small amount of the meat mixture for each tortilla to make it easier to roll and stay together.
    • The dairy-free cream cheese is important to help bind the meat filling together.  I use the Miyoko's brand because it is the cleanest ingredients.
    • Coconut aminos is a must try as a dipping sauce!
