Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
• 50 grams Almond flour
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (for frying)
• 4 large Lettuce leaves (for serving, optional)
• 1 medium Sliced avocado (for topping, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Sour cream (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, egg, cilantro, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until well combined, but do not overmix to avoid tough patties.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into round, flat patties about 1-inch thick.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties into the skillet. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust and are fully cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F (71°C).

Step 6

Transfer the cooked tortas de carne to a plate and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Serve the tortas on large lettuce leaves as a low-carb 'bun' alternative, topped with sliced avocado and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
