# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for the cloud bread tacos.
02 - In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar together until stiff peaks form.
03 - In another bowl, mix the yolks, cream cheese, and salt until smooth.
04 - Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in thirds, taking care not to deflate the whites.
05 - Spoon 8 rounds of batter onto the prepared sheet, shaping each into a circle about 12 cm (5 in) wide.
06 - Bake for 18–20 minutes, until set and lightly golden. Let cool before carefully peeling off the parchment.
07 - While the cloud breads bake, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté 2 minutes.
08 - Add garlic and ground beef; cook until beef is browned, breaking up lumps.
09 - Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 minute.
10 - Add water, reduce heat, and simmer until the mixture thickens (5 minutes). Remove from heat.
11 - Assemble tacos: Place beef filling in each cloud bread shell, then top with lettuce, tomato, cheese, sour cream, and cilantro.
