Ingredients

  • 2 lbs lean ground beef 90/10 (32 ounces)
  • 1-8 oz can tomato sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh salsa
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup + 2 1/2 tbsp almond flour 4.5 oz
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions 4 oz
  • Fresh guacamole salsa and red onions for topping.

Taco Seasoning

  • 1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350. Coat a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine all the ingredients for the meatloaf including the seasoning. Mix together with a spoon or your hands until completely combined.
  • Divide the meat mixture evenly into each cup of the muffin tin. 
  • Transfer the muffin tin to the oven and bake for about 25 minutes until the internal temp reaches 160F.
  • Remove from the oven once they are finished cooking and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Top each meatloaf muffin with 1 tbsp of guacamole, 1 tsp salsa and red onions.

Notes

  • If your meat mixture is still a little wet (depending on the type of salsa you used) You may want to add another tbsp or so of almond flour. 
  • These are perfect for meal prep. Simple store in a air tight container without the toppings. They will also freeze up to 3 months in the fridge.
