Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1. Prepare the Keto Sope Dough
- Combine tapioca flour, almond flour, salt, chicken bouillon, and lime juice in a bowl. Gradually add warm water, mixing until a dough forms. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 2. Cook the Beef Filling
- In a separate bowl, mix ground beef with red onion, cumin, red pepper flakes (optional), oregano, and minced garlic.
- Cook the ground beef mixture in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through.
Step 3. Shape and Cook the Sopes
- Take small portions of the chilled dough (about 2 tablespoons each), roll into balls, and flatten slightly on a parchment-lined surface to create small, thick discs (slightly larger than the desired cooked size).
- Cook the sope discs in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat until golden brown and slightly puffed, flipping halfway through.
Step 4. Assemble and Serve
- Top each cooked sope with sour cream, ground beef, lettuce, cabbage, tomato, cilantro, radishes, salsa, and cheese.
