  3. Place the peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet face down. Broil for 10 minutes, or until the skins are starting to peel off. Set aside to cool.
  4. Add the beef and Mexican seasoning to a large skillet. Cook until beef is browned, or about 10 minutes.

  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  8. In a medium mixing bowl or large measuring cup, combine the eggs, heavy whipping cream and almond flour. Use a whisk, hand mixer, or an immersion blender to combine.
