Ingredients

• 8 pieces Gluten-free tortillas
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 small Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional for serving)
• 0.5 cup Salsa (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated, add the onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the spices are well incorporated. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is evenly mixed with the beef mixture.

Step 7

Place a gluten-free tortilla on a clean surface and add approximately 1/4 cup of the beef and cheese mixture onto the center.

Step 8

Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 9

Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 10

Brush the tops of each crispito with the remaining olive oil.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 13

Serve the crispitos with sour cream and salsa on the side if desired.
