Recipe Steps

steps 6

34 min

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 380 degrees Fahrenheit and line a shallow oven tray with baking paper. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Finely slice the garlic and add to the pan along with the onion to soften for 1-2 minutes. Add the beef, paprika, cumin, coriander and chilli flakes and stir well to combine. Cook until the beef has browned all over.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Once browned, add 1/3 cup of hot water to the pan and simmer until all liquid has reduced – about 15 minutes, and the beef is cooked through.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Whilst the beef is cooking, you can prepare the ‘tacos’. Dividing the parmesan evenly, spoon four piles of the cheese onto the lined baking tray - leaving a 2 inch gap between each. If you have a round cookie cutter you can use this to help create the shape. Press each pile of parmesan down gently to flatten into a circle.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Transfer to the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes until slightly golden and bubbling. Remove the tray from the oven and set aside to cool for 30 seconds-1 minute. Carefully lift each crisp off the oven tray, then, taking a muffin tray, gently press each parmesan crisp into a muffin cup to form the taco shape.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Once the beef has cooked, allow it to cool just a fraction before dividing evenly between the parmesan cups.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Finely slice the scallion. Scatter the cheese, lettuce and scallions over the cups to serve. Optionally, serve with a wedge of lime.

      Your macros are way off . If this recipe makes 2 servings the Carbs are only 4.5 net grams for 2 tacos (one serving, The way you have it logged is the whole recipe is only one serving

        BettyPaige is correct. Doesn’t look like there’s a way to edit serving size, probably has to be done by recipe writer.
