Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 1 unit Large white onion, chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 tortillas Almond flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine spices with the beef.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Lay the almond flour tortillas flat and distribute the beef mixture evenly among them, placing the filling in a line down the center of each tortilla.

Step 9

Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling to form a taquito.

Step 10

Place the taquitos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Brush the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the tops of the taquitos to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 14

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving, if desired.
