Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium bell pepper, diced
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 0.25 cup water
• 4 low-carb tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup chopped cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook it until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion is softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the diced bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 5

Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat the meat and vegetables with the spices.

Step 6

Mix in the tomato paste and water, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and the flavors combine.

Step 7

Warm the low-carb tortillas either in the microwave or a dry skillet, about 10 seconds each side to make them pliable.

Step 8

Lay out the tortillas and evenly divide the beef mixture among them. Top each with shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 9

Roll each tortilla into a burrito by folding the sides in over the filling then rolling them up from the bottom.

Step 10

Serve the burritos warm topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
