INGREDIENT NOTES:
GROUND BEEF:
- Rich tastes and a significant fat content are provided by ground beef. We can substitute lamb, turkey, or ground chicken.
CREAM CHEESE:
- It improves the creaminess and richness of the filling. It will counterbalance the spicy content and add beneficial fat. The finest alternatives are ricotta or mascarpone cheese.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour can be used because it will give these dunkers a smooth and cohesive texture. Either ground flaxseed meal or a tiny bit of coconut flour can be used in its place.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- The cheddar cheese will give the filling a powerful taste and more creaminess. To add more heat, use the pepper jack, Colby, or mozzarella.
