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

- onion
- chili powder

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!
