cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

almond flour

🥗Healthier: coconut flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Coconut flour is lower in carbs and more affordable than almond flour.

1

Freeze the almond flour and mozzarella together in a bag.

2

Shred 1 1/2 cups of part-skim mozzarella cheese.

3

Add 1 oz of Philadelphia Cream Cheese to the bowl with the mozzarella.

4

Microwave the mozzarella and cream cheese for 1 minute until starting to melt.

5

Mix the melted mozzarella and cream cheese together with the back of a spoon.

6

Microwave the mixture with almond flour for another 30 seconds to help blend.

7

Add 1 egg to the mixture and continue mixing until a dough forms.

8

Use nitrile gloves and coconut oil to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.

9

Divide the dough into four equal portions and shape each into a round disc about an eighth of an inch thick.

10

Place the discs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, staggering them apart.

11

Perforate the crusts to prevent them from puffing up too much while baking.

12

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

13

Bake the chalupa crusts for about 8 minutes, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning.

14

In a skillet over medium heat, cook 3 lb of ground beef with a tablespoon of butter.

15

Season the beef with sea salt, black pepper, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked ghost chilies, and ground cayenne pepper.

16

Add a little water to the beef to keep it moist and flavorful as it cooks.

17

Check the chalupa crusts after 6 and a half minutes; they should be golden brown and ready to use.
