Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 5 people

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb Ground beef
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 4- oz can Green chiles drained
  • 1/2 cup Gluten-free enchilada sauce or any kind you like
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish - optional

Instructions

  • Make the savory almond flour pie crust according to the directions. (After it's done, remove from the oven and leave the oven on at 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).)
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and saute for a minute, until fragrant.
  • Add ground beef to the pan. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook for 7-10 minutes, breaking apart with a spoon or spatula, until the meat is browned and fat cooks away. (If the beef is browned but you still have liquid left, drain it before proceeding.)
  • When the beef is cooked through, stir in the green chiles (drained) and enchilada sauce. Cook for another 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the meat mixture evenly into the baked pie crust and compress the top. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
