Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 medium, diced Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.25 cup Water
- 8 large Lettuce leaves
- 1 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 sliced Avocado
- 0.25 cup, chopped Cilantro
Instructions
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Drain any excess fat from the skillet and return the beef mixture to the pan.
6. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper, coating the beef evenly with the spices.
7. Mix in the tomato paste and water, stirring until well combined. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
8. While the beef simmers, prepare the topping ingredients: wash and dry the lettuce leaves, shred the cheddar cheese, slice the avocado, and chop the cilantro.
9. To assemble the tacos, place a large lettuce leaf on a plate to serve as the taco shell.
10. Spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto the lettuce leaf.
11. Top the beef with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
12. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and serve immediately.
