Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) cottage cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 pound (450g) ground beef (85% lean recommended)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Lime wedges (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup cottage cheese and 1 large egg. Whisk thoroughly until smooth.
  2. Gradually fold in 1 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder. Mix until just combined.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the flatbread mixture into the skillet and spread it gently into a circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  4. In another skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 small finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  5. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds. Add 1 pound ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink.
  6. Once the beef is browned, add 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Take a warm flatbread and spoon a generous amount of the spiced beef mixture onto one side. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Add fresh cilantro or parsley if desired. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
  8. Fold the flatbread over the filling to create a taco shape. Serve immediately while warm.
