- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine the spices with the beef mixture.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves to be used as taco shells.
To assemble the tacos, take each lettuce leaf and fill it with a portion of the seasoned ground beef.
Top each taco with sliced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, and quartered cherry tomatoes.
Add a dollop of sour cream on top of each taco and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
Enjoy your Keto Classic Ground Beef Tacos with family and friends.
