Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef
- 50 grams almond flour (or any low-carb flour for binding)
- 1 piece large egg
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.
Step 2
Using your hands or a spatula, mix the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and holds together.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, about 1 cm thick.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, place the patties into the skillet, ensuring they don’t overcrowd the pan. You may need to work in batches.
Step 6
Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F).
Step 7
Remove the tortitas from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately while hot. These can be served on their own, with a side salad, or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
