Ingredients

• 500 g Carne Asada
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Cumin powder
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 300 g Cauliflower rice
• 100 g Mexican cheese blend
• 1 Avocado
• 1 Lime
• 100 g Sour cream
• 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro
• 4 Low carb tortilla
• 5 Sliced radishes

Directions

Step 1

Season the carne asada with salt, black pepper, cumin powder, and garlic powder. Ensure the meat is well-coated with the spices.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carne asada and cook for about 4-5 minutes each side or until cooked to your preference.

Step 3

Once cooked, remove from heat and let the carne asada rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 4

In another skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5

Lay out a low carb tortilla and sprinkle a portion of Mexican cheese blend down the center.

Step 6

Top with a generous serving of cauliflower rice, a few strips of carne asada, and sliced radishes.

Step 7

Scoop the flesh of the avocado into a bowl, add lime juice, and mash together until smooth. Spread some of the avocado mixture over the other ingredients in the tortilla.

Step 8

Drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle chopped cilantro over the filling.

Step 9

Fold the bottom of the tortilla over the filling, fold in the sides, and then roll it tightly into a burrito. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.

Step 10

Optionally, warm each burrito in a skillet for about 1-2 minutes per side until slightly crispy.

Step 11

Serve immediately with extra sour cream and sliced radishes on the side, if desired.
