How-To Steps

Step 01

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

Step 02

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

Step 03

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

Step 04

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

Step 05

Shape and bake cloud bread: Spoon 8 rounds of batter onto the prepared sheet, shaping each into a circle about 12 cm 5 in wide. Bake for 18–20 minutes, until set and lightly golden. Let cool before carefully peeling off the parchment.

Step 06

Cook seasoned beef: While the cloud breads bake, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté 2 minutes. Add garlic and ground beef; cook until beef is browned, breaking up lumps. Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 minute. Add water, reduce heat, and simmer until the mixture thickens 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 07

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