08 - 15 ml olive oil (1 tbsp)
09 - 10 ml chili powder (2 tsp)
10 - 5 ml ground cumin (1 tsp)
11 - 2.5 ml smoked paprika (½ tsp)
12 - 2.5 ml dried oregano (½ tsp)
13 - 2.5 ml fine salt (½ tsp)
14 - 1.25 ml ground black pepper (¼ tsp)
15 - 80 ml water
→ Toppings
16 - 50 g shredded lettuce (about 1 cup)
17 - 1 medium tomato, diced (about 120 g)
18 - 56 g shredded cheddar cheese (½ cup)
19 - 60 ml sour cream (¼ cup)
20 - Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
03 - In a separate bowl, blend the egg yolks, softened cream cheese and salt until smooth and homogenous.
04 - Gently fold the whipped whites into the yolk mixture in three additions, maintaining as much air as possible.
05 - Spoon eight portions onto the prepared sheet, shaping each into a circle roughly 12 cm wide.
06 - Bake 18–20 minutes until set and lightly golden; cool completely on the sheet before removing the parchment.
07 - While shells bake, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the chopped onion and sauté about 2 minutes until translucent.
08 - Add minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet and cook until the meat is browned, breaking up any lumps.
09 - Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt and pepper; cook 1 minute to bloom the spices, then add the water and reduce heat to simmer until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
10 - Open each cooled cloud bread, fill with a portion of seasoned beef, and top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, cheddar, a dollop of sour cream and cilantro leaves.
11 - Serve immediately, handling the cloud bread shells gently to avoid tearing.
