Ingredients: Low-carb tortillas;
2 eggs
2 egg whites
5 oz. cream cheese, softened
½ tsp salt
1½ tsp ground psyllium husk powder
1 tbsp coconut flour
Filling;
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lb ground beef or
ground lamb, at room
temperature
2 tbsp Tex-Mex
seasoning
½ cup water
salt and pepper
Low-carb tortillas;
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Using an electric mixer with the whisk attachment,
whisk the eggs and egg whites until fluffy, preferably for
a few minutes. In a separate large bowl, beat the cream
cheese until smooth. Add the eggs to the cream
cheese, and whisk until the eggs and cream cheese
form a smooth batter.
2
Mix salt, psyllium husk, and coconut flour in a small
bowl. Add the flour mix one spoon at a time into the
batter and continue to whisk some more. Let the batter
sit for a few minutes, or until the batter is thick like an
American pancake batter. How fast the batter will swell
depends on the brand of psyllium husk – some trial and
error might be needed.
3
Bring out two baking sheets and place parchment
paper on each. Using a spatula, spread the batter thinly
(no more than ¼ inch thick, 0.5cm) into 4–6 circles or 2
rectangles.
4
Bake on the upper rack for about 5 minutes or more,
until the tortilla turns a little brown around the edges.
Carefully check the bottom side so that it doesn't burn.
5
Salsa;
2 (14 oz.) avocados,
diced
1 (4 oz.) tomato, diced
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp olive oil
½ cup fresh cilantro,
chopped
salt and pepper
For serving;
1½ cups (6 oz.) shredded Mexican cheese
3 oz. (2 ⁄ cups) shredded lettuce

Directions:Filling;
Bring the ground beef out of the refrigerator a while before
frying. Cold ground beef will cool down the frying pan and the
ground beef will be boiled and not fried. The latter tastes a lot
better.

3
Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat and
heat up the oil. Add the ground beef and fry until
cooked through.
1
Add the tex-mex seasoning and water and stir. Let
simmer until most of the water is gone. Taste to see if it
needs additional seasoning.
2
Make the salsa from avocado, tomatoes, lime juice,
olive oil, and fresh cilantro. Salt and pepper to taste.
1
Serve beef filling in a tortilla, with shredded cheese,
salsa, and shredded leafy greens. |
