Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound extra-lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 12 small corn tortillas
- 1 lime
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking and stirring until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the extra-lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until fully browned, stirring frequently to break up the meat, about 5 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, if necessary, to keep the dish low in fat.
Reduce heat to medium and add chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, ground coriander, and dried oregano to the beef mixture, stirring to combine well.
Pour in the low-sodium beef broth, stirring well to deglaze the skillet. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and flavors have melded.
Season the beef mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir, and then remove from heat.
Warm the corn tortillas either in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto each tortilla.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Squeeze a wedge of lime over each taco for added freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-fat beef street tacos.
