Ingredients

• 2 cups cassava flour
• 1.5 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons ghee
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
• 2 medium tomatoes, diced
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour and salt. Gradually add the water, mixing until a smooth and pliable dough forms.

Step 2

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick. These are your huarache bases.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the huaraches two at a time, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and slightly crispy. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining huaraches using the second tablespoon of ghee.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the beef, cooking for an additional 3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the cumin and ground coriander, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the beef mixture.

Step 7

To assemble the huaraches, place each huarache base on a serving plate. Add a layer of the seasoned beef mixture on top.

Step 8

Top each huarache with shredded romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, and slices of avocado.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the huaraches.

Step 10

Enjoy your Whole30-compliant huaraches immediately as a fresh and flavorful meal!
