Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the avocado or olive oil.
Add the ground beef (or chosen protein) to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Once the meat is browned and fully cooked, drain excess fat if necessary.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the seasonings to coat the meat thoroughly and the liquid to slightly reduce.
Warm the low-carb tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by adding a spoonful of seasoned meat to each tortilla.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a small dollop of sour cream.
Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the top and serve with fresh lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
