Ingredients

• Cloud Bread Taco Shells
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 100 g (about ½ cup) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar
  • ¼ tsp salt
• Seasoned Beef Filling
  • 450 g (1 lb) ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 80 ml (⅓ cup) water
• Toppings
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions

1.

Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for the cloud bread tacos.

2.

In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar together until stiff peaks form.

3.

In another bowl, mix the yolks, cream cheese, and salt until smooth.

4.

Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in thirds, taking care not to deflate the whites.

5.

Spoon 8 rounds of batter onto the prepared sheet, shaping each into a circle about 12 cm (5 in) wide.

6.

Bake for 18–20 minutes, until set and lightly golden. Let cool before carefully peeling off the parchment.

7.

While the cloud breads bake, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté 2 minutes.

8.

Add garlic and ground beef; cook until beef is browned, breaking up lumps.

9.

Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 minute.

10.

Add water, reduce heat, and simmer until the mixture thickens (5 minutes). Remove from heat.

11.

Assemble tacos: Place beef filling in each cloud bread shell, then top with lettuce, tomato, cheese, sour cream, and cilantro.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Cloud bread shells are extra delicate fresh from the oven—let them cool completely before removing from the parchment. Use a thin spatula and gentle hands when folding them into taco shapes to avoid tearing. For efficient prep, make the beef filling while your cloud bread shells bake. These steps ensure you get that classic taco look without losing any fluffy texture.
