Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven at 400ºF.
  • In a large oven proof skillet on medium heat, sauté the onions in olive oil. Once softened, add the ground beef, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and oregano.
  • Once beef has browned, add chopped bell peppers, jalapeno and chipotle peppers. Sauté until tender about 10 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl mix almond flour, salt, baking powder, garlic powder, herbs, and cheese.
  • Add eggs, sour cream, and olive oil. Mix well.
  • Add scallions and coriander to meat. Mix well and spread meat evenly in the pan to make a bed for the biscuits.
  • Sprinkle 1/3 cup of grated cheese onto the meat and peppers.
  • Spoon batter over the meat filling, putting scoops of batter evenly on top of the meat. They will expand while baking so no need to spread.
  • Bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cool.

Notes

Can’t handle the spice? Don’t add the chipotle and jalapeno peppers. I’m a spicy girl so I’m always adding heat to my dishes. This dish is spicy, but can be adjusted to your taste by reducing the amount of jalapenos and chipotle peppers.
