  • 1½ cups (150g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

Toppings:

  • 1.5 lbs (680g) lean ground beef
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (sugar-free) or homemade (chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, oregano)
  • ¼ cup (60ml) sugar-free salsa or tomato sauce
  • 2 cups (200g) shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1–2 jalapeños, sliced
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes + ¼ cup diced onion (pico-style)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Crust: Mix almond flour, coconut flour (if using), eggs, mozzarella, salt, and garlic powder. Knead until a dough forms. Press evenly into a 12-inch circle on the parchment. Bake 8–10 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. While crust bakes, cook ground beef in a skillet until browned. Drain fat, add taco seasoning and salsa/sauce. Simmer 2–3 minutes.
  4. Spread beef mixture over pre-baked crust. Top with shredded cheese, jalapeños, and extra seasoning if desired.
  5. Bake 10–12 more minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Remove from oven and top with fresh diced tomatoes, onion, and cilantro. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing.
