Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 cut into wedges lime
- 1 medium, diced tomato
- 1 diced avocado
- 1 cup, shredded fresh lettuce
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until it is browned and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, paprika, chili powder, dried oregano, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the spices with the beef.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Stir occasionally.
While the beef is simmering, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat, about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
To assemble the tacos, place a generous scoop of the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Top with diced tomato, avocado, shredded lettuce, and chopped cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos for a fresh, zesty finish.
