Chef's tip
Avocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap.
3 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
½ tsp salt

For the filling

1 lb ground beef (80/20)
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp chili powder
½ tsp salt

For the assembly

8 corn tortillas (6-inch)
Chef's tip
Cassava tortillas are typically 6-inch — warm them so they stay pliable, and use two for overstuffed fillings.
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

For serving

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
¼ cup sour cream (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
2
Heat 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, and smoked paprika and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the flour and stir to form a paste, cooking for 1 minute until the raw flour smell fades.
