Zucchini tortillas
2 large (about 300g)
zucchini, grated
½ cup grated
parmesan
²⁄³ cup almond meal
2 eggs, lightly
beaten

1 Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Line two large baking trays
with baking paper. To make
the tortillas, mix together all
of the tortilla ingredients in a
bowl. Using an ice cream scoop,
scoop out 12 even portions and
place on the prepared trays.
Flatten them out into 8cm circles.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until
golden and cooked through.
2 Meanwhile, heat the olive oil
in a frying pan over a medium
heat, add the onion and cook
for 5 minutes, or until softened
and lightly golden. Add the
crushed garlic and cook, stirring,
for about 2–3 minutes. Remove
the onion and garlic from the
pan and set aside. Increase the
heat to high and, working in
batches, cook diced beef for
2–3 minutes, or until browned.
3 Return the onion and garlic to
the pan. Add the tomato paste,
paprika and 3 tablespoons of
water and simmer, stirring, for
5 minutes, or until the beef is
cooked to your liking. Season
generously with pepper and
the chilli flakes. Serve the beef
and tortillas with the cheddar,
coriander and lettuce.
