Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Gluten-free corn tortillas
- 1 pound Ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Chopped tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to coat the beef.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) to the beef mixture, stirring to combine. Let simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
While the beef mixture is simmering, warm the gluten-free corn tortillas in a separate ungreased skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side or until pliable.
To assemble the tacos, place a scoop of the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious gluten-free tacos!
