- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 150 milliliters Water

Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

5. Reduce heat to medium and stir in cumin powder, chili powder, ground paprika, salt, and black pepper.
6. Add tomato paste and water to the beef mixture, stirring well to combine. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
7. While the beef mixture is simmering, warm the gluten-free taco shells according to package instructions.
8. Assemble the tacos by spooning the beef mixture into each shell, and then topping with shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
9. Serve the tacos with a wedge of lime and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
