• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup low-carb salsa
• For the low-carb tortillas:
• 8 store-bought low-carb tortillas or homemade almond flour tortillas
• For the toppings:
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup chopped tomato

Instructions:

1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large cast-iron skillet or non-PTFE pan, heat the ghee or tallow over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the Vermeat grass-fed Ground Beef and cook, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula, until no longer pink.
2. Season the Ground Beef: Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the beef is thoroughly cooked and the spices are well combined.
3. Assemble the tostadas: Warm the low-carb tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 10-15 seconds on each side, or according to package directions. Place the warmed tortillas on serving plates. Spoon a layer of low-carb salsa onto each tortilla, followed by a generous portion of the spiced Ground Beef.
4. Add the toppings: Top each Ground Beef Tostada with your choice of toppings: shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, shredded cheese, black olives, fresh cilantro, jalapeño slices (if using), sour cream, and avocado slices or guacamole.
