Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 pounds Ground beef
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the almond flour, cream cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute until the cheeses are melted and combine them well. Stir until a dough forms.

Step 3

Add the egg to the dough and knead until the egg is fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.

Step 4

Divide the dough into two equal parts and roll each part into a thin sheet between two pieces of parchment paper. The dough should be about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 5

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and ground beef. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks.

Step 6

Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the beef. Stir well to combine and remove from heat.

Step 7

Cut the rolled dough into small squares, approximately 2 inches by 2 inches.

Step 8

Place a teaspoon of the ground beef filling in the center of each square.

Step 9

Fold each square into a triangle by bringing two opposite corners together, pressing edges to seal. Then bring the two bottom points of the triangle together to form the tortellini shape, pressing firmly to form a seal.

Step 10

Arrange the tortellini on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush lightly with water to help them hold their shape.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.

Step 12

Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.
