- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the beef mixture.
Add the tomato paste and water, stirring well to combine all the ingredients, and let the mixture simmer for another 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Warm the corn tortillas in a separate dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-45 seconds.
Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with the ground beef mixture.
Top with avocado slices, cilantro, shredded lettuce, and a spoonful of salsa.
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top just before eating.
