Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the tomato paste to the skillet and stir until well incorporated with the beef mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the beef mixture cool slightly.

Step 6

To assemble the flautas, take a large romaine lettuce leaf and place about 1-2 tablespoons of the beef mixture along the center.

Step 7

Top with a few slices of avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 8

Roll the lettuce leaf snugly around the filling to form a tight wrap.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining leaves and beef mixture.

Step 10

Serve the beef flautas with lime wedges and whole30 compliant salsa for dipping.
