Keto tortilla with ground beef and salsa

Step 1

1 Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

2 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.

Step 3

3 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.

Step 4

4 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.

Step 5

5 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.

Step 6

6 Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat and heat up the oil. Add the ground beef and fry until cooked through.

Step 7

7 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.

Step 8

8 Make the salsa from avocado, tomatoes, lime juice, olive oil, and fresh cilantro. Salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

9 Serve beef filling in a tortilla, with shredded cheese, salsa, and shredded leafy greens.
