Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef or ground lamb
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Tex-Mex seasoning
  • 1 cup water
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 avocados
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 8 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lime the juice
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg whites
  • 5 oz. cream cheese
  • teaspoons ground psyllium husk powder
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cups shredded Mexican cheese
  • 3 oz. shredded lettuce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Whisk the eggs and egg whites fluffy and continue to whisk with a hand mixer, preferably for a few minutes. Add cream cheese and continue to whisk until the batter is smooth.
  • 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.
  • Bring out two baking sheets and place parchment paper on each. Using a spatula, spread the batter thinly (no more than ¼ inch thick) into 4–6 circles or 2 rectangles.
  • Bake on 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.
  • 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.
  • Place a large frying pan over medium high heat and heat up some oil. Add the ground beef and fry until cooked through.
  • Add the tex-mex seasoning and water and stir. Let simmer until most of the water is gone.
