Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 6 pieces Low-carb tortillas
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is transparent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook while breaking up the meat with a spatula until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the beef is well seasoned.

Step 5

Remove from heat and let the beef mixture cool slightly.

Step 6

Place a low-carb tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture along the center of the tortilla. Top with about 2-3 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go to prevent leakage. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 8

Place crispitos seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each with melted butter for extra crispiness.

Step 9

Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Serve warm with optional sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
