Low Carb Keto Beef Burritos
Description
Low Carb Keto Beef Burritos feature a ground beef filling cooked with a blend of spices, tomato puree, and chopped tomatoes to create a thick and flavorful sauce. The seasoning includes paprika, coriander, cumin, and a hint of chili powder, delivering a mildly spiced and savory profile. The beef mixture is combined with aromatics like onion and garlic, adding depth to the dish.
The filling is wrapped inside tortillas made from coconut flour, which are lower in carbohydrates than traditional flour tortillas. Layers of grated cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, diced avocado, and cherry tomatoes add texture and freshness to each burrito. A dollop of sour cream and fresh coriander finish the build, balancing richness and herbaceous notes.
Serving these burritos wrapped in foil helps maintain their shape and makes them easier to eat. The recipe includes details for preparing the coconut flour tortillas and recommends adjusting seasoning to taste during cooking. This combination results in a hearty, flavorful meal suitable for low-carb diets.
According to the notes, net carbs are low, with about 1 g net carbs per burrito when using the spiced coconut flour tortilla. The tortillas and beef filling can be prepared in advance and frozen if desired, making meal prep flexible and convenient.
