Ingredients

1 lb ground beef 453g
1 tablespoon olive oil 15ml
½ medium onion, diced about 1/2 cup or 75g
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin 2g
1 teaspoon chili powder 2g
½ teaspoon paprika 1g
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for heat, 0.5g
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 113g
¼ cup diced tomatoes about 1 medium tomato or 60g
¼ cup diced green bell pepper about 1/4 pepper or 37g
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro 15g
1 avocado, sliced about 150g
¼ cup sour cream for garnish, 60ml
1 lime, cut into wedges for garnish

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Incorporate the ground beef into the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain excess fat from the skillet, then season the beef with cumin, chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
Continue to cook the beef mixture for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the toppings: dice the tomatoes and green bell pepper, chop the cilantro, and slice the avocado.
Once the beef is fully cooked and seasoned, remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hot beef mixture and cover the skillet for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
To assemble the Keto Beef Enchilada Bowls, divide the beef and melted cheese mixture evenly among four bowls.
Top each bowl with the diced tomatoes, green bell pepper, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a wedge of lime on the side.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your deconstructed enchilada experience!
