How to Make It
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and taco seasoning. Mix well and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. When done, remove from the heat and drain the fat.
Step 2
Shred the mozzarella cheese. Add the cream cheese and mozzarella to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until completely melted.
Step 3
Transfer the melted cheese to a food processor. Add the almond flour and egg. Process until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper. If the dough is too sticky, dust it with some almond flour. Roll out until approximately 0.3cm (1/8 inch) thin.
Step 5
Using a biscuit cutter, carefully cut into 10 circles. If necessary, gently press each circle with your hand to flatten. Set aside.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°C). Shred the cheddar cheese. Lightly press the dough into a silicone or greased muffin tin. Spoon the cooked meat into each cup and top with shredded cheddar. Bake for 15 minutes.
Step 7
Peel and chop the avocado. Finely chop the tomato. Finely chop the onions. Top each taco cup with avocado, spring onions, and tomatoes. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro. Enjoy!
