Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 14.5 oz can canned diced tomatoes
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 sliced avocado
- 0.5 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 cut into wedges lime
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup dairy-free sour cream
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for another 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high, add the ground beef, and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 7 minutes.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (including the juices) and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, and cook for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
While the beef mixture is simmering, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto each tortilla.
Top with slices of avocado, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Add a scoop of salsa and a dollop of dairy-free sour cream to each taco.
Serve immediately with additional lime wedges on the side.
