Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large low-carb tortillas
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup sliced avocado
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Heat the Olive Oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the ground beef.
- Cook the Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess grease if necessary for a cleaner dish.
- Season the Meat: Stir in chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and water. Let the mixture simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing it to thicken and the flavors to blend together.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the low-carb tortillas according to the package instructions to make them pliable and easier to roll without tearing.
- Assemble the Burritos: Divide the seasoned beef evenly among the tortillas, placing the filling in the center of each. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, avocado slices, and chopped fresh cilantro.
- Roll the Burritos: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll it tightly to form a burrito shape, ensuring all fillings are securely enclosed.
- Serve: Serve the burritos immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For an even lower-carb option, replace the tortillas with large lettuce leaves to create a burrito bowl wrap.
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a leaner alternative.
- Adding a spoonful of salsa or hot sauce is a great way to add extra flavor without significantly increasing carbs.
