Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 small Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Oregano
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (no added sugar)
- 100 milliliters Beef broth (unsweetened and low-carb)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)
- 8 leaves Lettuce leaves (e.g., romaine or butter lettuce)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2–3 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5–7 minutes, until fully browned and no pink remains.
Sprinkle the paprika, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper over the beef. Stir well to evenly coat the meat in the spices.
Mix in the tomato paste, ensuring it's evenly incorporated. Then pour in the beef broth and stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5–7 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly and the flavors to develop.
Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool for a minute. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the keto taco mince in lettuce leaves as taco wraps, or with your preferred low-carb accompaniment.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired.
