Prep time: 15 mins | Cook time: 20 mins | Servings: 8 twists
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Keto/Low-Carb Puff Pastry (or low-carb dough sheet)
- 1 lb (450g) Lean Ground Beef (90/10)
- 1 packet (2 tbsp) Low-Carb Taco Seasoning
- ½ cup Sharp White Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- Coarse Sea Salt & Fresh Cracked Black Pepper, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the Filling: In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat, stir in the taco seasoning along with 2 tbsp of water, and simmer for 2 minutes until rich and thick. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Assemble the Pastry: Roll out your low-carb pastry dough into a rectangle. Evenly spread the seasoned ground beef across the surface and top with shredded sharp white cheddar.
- Slice & Twist: Fold the dough over or layer it, then slice into equal strips. Gently twist each strip into a spiral shape to lock in the filling and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Brush each twist with beaten egg wash and sprinkle coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper on top. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the pastry is puffed and deep golden-brown.
- Serve: Serve warm as-is, or pair with fresh guacamole, sour cream, or low-carb salsa!
