Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups of almond flour
- ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup of melted butter
- 1 egg
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
For the Filling:
- 1 lb (450g) of ground beef (or ground turkey if you prefer)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 packet of taco seasoning (or homemade; ensure it’s low-carb)
- ½ cup of tomato sauce (no added sugar)
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup of shredded lettuce
- ¼ cup of sour cream
- ½ cup of salsa (make sure it’s low-carb or sugar-free)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, egg, and salt until the mixture is well blended. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.
Cook the Filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and drain any excess fat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion becomes translucent. Stir in the taco seasoning and tomato sauce, allowing the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined and heated through.
Assemble the Pie: Spread the beef mixture evenly over the pre-baked crust. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Bake the Pie: Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve: Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with shredded lettuce, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.
