INGREDIENT NOTES:
BEEF:
- This meal has a pleasant texture & a robust, rich flavor because of ground beef. Use 80/20 beef so the delicious & juicy steak remains keto. Drain any extra fat to prevent greasiness.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil gives the steak a pleasant, mild flavor & aids in even browning. Additionally, it prevents the garlic & onions from sticking during sautéing. Use extra virgin for optimal flavor.
ONIONS:
- The filling gains depth & natural sweetness from the onion. Chop it finely so that it mixes in with the meat. You can use shallots instead for a softer flavor.
GARLIC:
- Garlic adds a warm, fragrant aroma to the taco spice. Use garlic powder in an emergency, but fresh chopped garlic is the finest for flavor.
TACO SEASONING:
- Taco seasoning adds a robust, traditional Mexican flavor. Make your own with chili powder, paprika, cumin, & oregano, or buy a sugar-free blend.
TOMATO SAUCE:
- The meat mixture retains its taste & moisture because of the tomato sauce. Use a low-carb or unsweetened version to limit the amount of carbohydrates. It properly balances the spice.
SOUR CREAM:
- The addition of tangy flavor & smoothness from sour cream unifies the entire dish. It also contributes to a rich, velvety texture when baked.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- Cheddar cheese offers a strong, salty flavor & melts delightfully. It creates a sticky coating that keeps everything in place. You can add some pepper jack for more heat.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- Mozzarella cheese provides the elastic, melty quality that is enjoyed by everybody. It combines with cheddar to create a well-balanced, cheesy topping that bakes up flawlessly.
KETO BISCUIT DOUGH:
- The keto biscuit dough produces a “bubble up” effect. It gets a little crisp on top & soft inside. Almond flour is used to keep the carbs low, and it makes the finest dough.
JALAPENOS:
- Jalapenos brighten the taste & give a little kick with jalapeños. Omit them or add them for spice if you want a milder dish.
CILANTRO:
- Cilantro offers a mild herbal aroma & a vibrant burst of color to counterbalance the richness. Sprinkle just before serving for optimal flavor.
SALT & PEPPER:
- Salt & pepper balance all the flavors. Simmer the meat mixture & adjust to taste before baking.
