Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 large low-carb flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 low-carb corn tostada shells
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tsp sriracha
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula until it reaches a mahogany-colored sear.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour in the water and simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid has reduced to a thick glaze.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of sour cream, sriracha, and smoked paprika to create the low-carb sauce.
- Place a low-carb tortilla on a flat surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of the low-carb sauce in the center.
- Top the sauce with a scoop of seasoned beef and a handful of shredded cheddar.
- Place a crispy tostada shell directly on top of the cheese, then layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream.
- Fold the edges of the tortilla toward the center, overlapping them to seal the wrap.
- Carefully place the wrap seam-side down in a preheated skillet over medium heat. Press down firmly with a spatula or a heavy pan for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
