Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 mix for flavor)
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves or butterhead lettuce leaves
- 1 large Avocado, diced
- 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup Queso fresco, crumbled
- 0.25 cup Sour cream (optional)
Instructions
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary.
Season the beef with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper, stirring well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the beef mixture simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld together.
While the beef is simmering, prepare your taco assembly station with romaine or butterhead lettuce leaves, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, crumbled queso fresco, lime wedges, and sour cream if using.
To assemble each taco, spoon a portion of the beef mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf.
Top the beef with diced avocado, fresh cilantro, a sprinkle of queso fresco, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Optionally, add a dollop of sour cream on top for extra richness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Beef Street Tacos!
