- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
Spices
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Additional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 2 large low-carb tortillas
- 2 tablespoons fresh salsa

Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.
- Cook Ground Beef: Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Season Beef: Stir in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Warm Tortillas: Slightly warm the low-carb tortillas in a pan or microwave to make them more pliable for rolling.
- Assemble Burritos: Divide the seasoned beef mixture evenly between the tortillas. Top each with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, avocado slices, and fresh salsa.
- Roll and Garnish: Roll up each tortilla tightly into a burrito. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a leaner option, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
- To lower carbs further, serve the filling in lettuce wraps or over cauliflower rice instead of tortillas.
- Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
