    This Tortilla Taco Pie is low carb, easy to prepare and delicious!

    This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mission®. All opinions are entirely my own.

    Easy to make, low carb and made with ingredients you most likely have in your pantry already, this Low Carb Tortilla Taco Pie will be a hit and ready in under 30 minutes!

    Why You Should Make This Tortilla Taco Pie

    I have been eating a low carb, gluten-free, sugar-free, grain-free diet for almost two years now which has helped reduce my inflammation significantly. I have an intestinal condition that I have to monitor and it has been helping tremendously.

    Even though this is low carb, sugar free and gluten free it is still insanely delicious. You don’t have to sacrifice taste and quality in order to deliver benefits for people with dietary restrictions.

    Recipe Ingredients

    • tortillas- I used Carb Balance Soft Taco Flour Tortillas but you can use whatever you'd like.
    • olive oil - I love extra virgin olive oil and use it all the time!
    • ground beef- I use grass-fed and organic ground beef for the quality and it just tastes better.
    • onion - I used yellow onion because of its strong flavor and versatility.
    • chili powder - I love chili powder because it adds a wonderful spice to this.
    • cumin
    • tomatoes - I like to use grape tomatoes and slice them because they aren't too messy and still firm after slicing.
    • cauliflower rice-  I love cauliflower, it enhances just about every dish there is! You can make the "rice" yourself in a food processor or buy it already riced. So easy!
    • chicken broth - I use the low sodium chicken broth to cut back on sodium, but you can use vegetable broth or beef broth if that's what you have in the house.
    • scallions, cilantro and avocado - Whatever you'd like to garnish and top this with!

    Recipe FAQ's and Expert Tips

    Can I use ground turkey or ground chicken instead of ground beef?

    Absolutely, you can easily substitute either one of them.

    Can I use regular brown rice instead of cauliflower rice?

    Yes! You can use the same amount of already cooked brown rice or white rice as a substitute. If you aren't low carb you can easily add corn, black beans or whatever else you'd like.

    Can I make this tortilla taco pie dairy free?

    Yes, simply omit the cheese and it can be super delicious and dairy free.

      We made this for Cinco de Mayo again this year! It's a favorite in my family and I love that I can swap in ground turkey too.

      How funny...I was just yesterday looking for low-carb tortillas and I saw a sign for the Mission brand in the store, but they were all out. I guess many of us are trying to cut some carbs in this new year. I am going to keep looking for them, and your dish looks excellent!

      I always have some Mission tortillas on hand, especially when the kids come to visit. Saving this recipe to make when they come for a visit in February!
