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!
