Ingredients
- 4 servings low carb fathead dough
- 6 ounce ground beef
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- â…› teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cumin, ground
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano, dried
- â…› teaspoon cayenne
- 1 large – approx 4" – 6" long jalapeno peppers
- ¼ cup, shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ tablespoon butter, salted
- ¼ teaspoon garlic, fresh
Instructions
- Please have a full recipe of Fathead Dough prepared the night before and COLD.
- When you are ready to make your taco puffs, start by cook the ground beef with all the seasonings and a diced jalapeno in a skillet over medium-high heat. Use a wooden spoon to break up all the beef so you have very crumbly pieces. Cook until your beef is brown and crispy and the jalapeno is bright green and soft.
- Transfer the taco filling to a small mixing bowl to cool. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes, then stir in the cheddar cheese. You want the cheese to melt just slightly to help the beef stick together, which will help you later on.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Remove your fathead dough from the refrigerator. Divide it into 12 pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
- Use a pair of parchment papers to press a dough ball into a thin, flat disc. Place a heaping tablespoon of taco filling into the center of the dough.
- Bring the edges of the dough circle together over the filling to seal your puff. Press the dough in your hands to create a ball shape and seal any openings. Place the puff, seam down, in a muffin tin that has been sprayed.
- Repeat steps 5-6 until all puffs have been formed. Then, melt your butter and stir in the garlic. Brush this garlic butter over the top of each puff.
- Bake the puffs for about 32 minutes – until golden brown and flaky!
