Low Carb Tortilla Burger Food

THE BEST BUNLESS BURGER RECIPE FOR LOW CARB BURGERS

Steps:

• Prep: Preheat grill and clean the grate.
• Method: Break up the ground beef and evenly distribute the Worcestershire sauce and steak seasoning and olive oil if using).
• Mix gently with your hands to distribute the seasoning and form into three balls. Gently press/pat into patties or use a burger press like I have pictured. If you make a slight depression in the center of your burger, it will help prevent it from puffing up in the middle.
• Cook: Oil the grate. Season the outside of the burger patties with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper (both sides). Grill to your desired level of doneness. I like mine a little pink in the middle. Serve with your favorite extras but don't forget to count the carbs.
• Optional: For the caramelized onions... Slice the onions. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium-low heat. When hot, add the onions and saute until softened. Add 1/2 teaspoon of erythritol and cook until beginning to brown or caramelize. This step can take up to 10 minutes.
• NOTE: Some brands of Montreal Seasoning are saltier than others and people's taste buds are different. You may want to start with half of the amount of seasoning to see how you like it.

LOW CARB LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• Spray an 7" round (2" deep) cake pan with non-stick vegetable oil spray. I use a 7" spring form pan.
• In a heavy skillet, brown the ground beef, stirring to break it up, until no longer pink. Drain excess fat from pan.
• Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, the seasonings, and the sweetener.
• Simmer over low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings, as needed.
• In a small bowl, combine the ricotta with the egg, the Parmesan, pepper, and the parsley.
• Assemble lasagna : Trim 3 low-carb tortillas to 7" circles, to fit into the pan, if necessary.
• Spread a spoonful of meat sauce in the bottom of the pan. Lay one tortilla in the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Reserve 1/4 cup meat sauce, then use half of the remaining sauce to cover the tortilla.
• Dollop half of the ricotta mixture over the meat sauce.
• Reserve a couple tablespoons of mozzarella for the top. Sprinkle half of the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta.
• Top with a second low-carb tortilla, and repeat the layering: meat sauce, ricotta, and mozzarella.
• Top with a third low-carb tortilla. Spread with the reserved meat sauce and sprinkle with the reserved mozzarella and with additional grated Parmesan cheese.
• Cover pan with foil and bake 20 minutes. Uncover and bake 20 to 25 additional minutes, till bubbly hot.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.

• If you use a 3 net carb tortilla, each serving is about 9 net carbs.

LOW-CARB TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375º F. Cut 5 pieces of parchment about 14 inches long. Have a rolling pin and 2 cookie sheets available.
• Place mozzarella cheese, almond flour and salt in a food processor. Pulse to chop mozzarella and combine all ingredients well. Mixture should appear mealy.
• Transfer mixture to a large, heavy saucepan. Heat over low heat while stirring constantly.
• As the cheese melts, the ingredients will start to develop a doughy appearance. When it starts to hold together in a ball, turn it out onto a piece of parchment paper.
• While the dough is hot, but not hot enough to burn your hands, kneed the dough to completely mix the ingredients. Divide the dough into 4 equal sections. Place three of the sections back in the warm pan (but not over heat) to keep them warm while you work.
• Form one section into a ball and place on a piece of parchment paper. Pat into a disk shape, then cover with another piece of parchment. Using the rolling pin, roll into about a 9 inch circle. Place the circle of dough on half of the parchment lined baking sheet. Set aside.
• Repeat for the second ball of dough and place it on the other side of the baking pan. Repeat for the other two pieces of dough.
• Bake the tortillas for 5-7 minutes or until the outside edges just begin to brown. Watch them carefully as it is easy to burn them. Allow them to cool slightly before gently loosening them with a spatula and removing them from the pan.
• Fill tortillas with filling of choice while they are slightly warm for best results. Refrigerate any extras in an airtight container. Warm leftover tortillas gently before using.
