Taco Pie

I will warn that it is very spicy.  If you don’t like it quite so spicy, you can tone it down by using regular chili powder instead of the chipotle pepper powder.

Ingredients

• “Dorito Taco Bread”:
• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 tsp kosher or sea salt
• 2 tsps chipotle chili powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 8 oz. organic (preferably raw) old cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 organic free range egg
• Filling:
• 1 lb grass fed ground beef
• 2 tbsps chili powder
• 1/2 – 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tsps cumin
• 1/2 tsp onion powder or 1/4 grated yellow onion
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsps oregano
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

2. Combine all dry ingredients (including grated cheddar) in a bowl.
3. In a smaller bowl, whisk egg; then combine it with the dry ingredients.
