Instructions
1
Prep
Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment. Whisk almond flour, egg, cream cheese, and baking powder into a soft dough.
2
Build
Shape the dough into an oval boat on parchment and pinch up the edges with your fingers to form a raised rim about 1/4 inch thick.
3
Bake
Bake the empty shell on the middle rack at 400F for 8 minutes until the edges are pale gold and just set enough to hold filling.
4
Saute
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Finely dice the onion and garlic, then sauté for 3 minutes until onion turns translucent and softens.
5
Brown
Add ground beef to the skillet and brown over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula until no pink remains.
6
Simmer
Finely dice the tomato. Stir in tomato, tomato paste, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper; simmer over medium-low heat for 4 minutes.
7
Fill
Spoon the beef filling into the baked boat. Scatter mozzarella over the top.
8
Bake
Return the boat to the oven at 400F for 5 minutes until the cheese melts and turns golden in spots.
9
Rest
Let the boat sit on the baking sheet for 10 minutes so the filling sets and cheese firms.
10
Plate
Transfer the boat to a plate, scatter parsley over the top, and serve warm.
