Carnivore Mexican Beef Burrito Roll

Requiring only 6 simple ingredients, you can make this carnivore ground beef recipe in less than 30 minutes! Inspired by the Korean egg roll (Gyeran Mari) or Japanese egg roll (Tamagoyaki), the process looks complicated but it's actually really easy and the spiral looks impressive once finished! This carnivore diet recipe begins by browning the meat with the seasoning, the eggs are whisked with the cream and milk and about 1/3 of the egg mixture is poured into the pan until a thin layer forms. Layers of beef and cheese are thinly layered over the egg, rolled ¾ of the way and more egg mixture is added to the pan to fuse with the previous egg layer. The process creates a type of never-ending egg roll. Tasty and protein-packed, this carnivore recipe makes one large or 2 medium egg rolls perfect for a big breakfast or lunch. The Mexican seasoning is what really makes this dish, but if you are following a strict carnivore diet, simply omit the spices and enjoy the natural meaty and cheesy flavors!

What can I serve this Mexican ground beef burrito with?

Enjoy as it is or serve with a drizzle of sour cream or hot sauce if your diet permits it.

What kind of ground beef should I use?

Try to source organic grass-fed ground beef as this meat comes from animals that have been naturally fed and raised ethically, without drugs and hormones. This type of meat will always be healthier and more nutritious especially on a limiting carnivore diet. For this recipe grass-fed 15% fat ground beef was used. However, you can use any ground beef of choice, lean 5%, 10%, 12%, 15% or 20% fat are all great options. Feel free to experiment with other ground meats like venison, chicken, turkey, or pork and different herbs for more recipe variations, or alternatively try with shredded beef.

What kind of mozzarella should I use?

Be cautious of store-bought pre-shredded mozzarella as they are often coated with rice flour to prevent it from sticking together, so always check the labels. Source ‘block mozzarella’ not fresh mozzarella balls as there is a difference in moisture content. Typical American mozzarella is easy to grate and melts wonderfully.

Can I use a premix of Mexican seasoning?

Mexican seasoning is also known as taco spice seasoning. Make sure any store-bought premixed spices do not contain any added sugars. Use 1.5 tablespoon of spice mix.

If you don't have any pre-mixed seasoning, simply make your own with the below ratios for this recipe:

- 1/4 tsp chili powder

- 1/2 tsp sweet paprika

- 1/4 tsp ground cumin

- 1/4 tsp garlic powder

- 1/4 tsp onion powder

- 1/2 tsp dried oregano

If your spice rack is a little short on spices, you can still make this dish with chili powder and cumin alone which are the two flavor essentials, heat, and a rich, earthier tone.
