Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 lime, juiced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 12 small corn tortillas
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 1 fresh jalapeño, sliced (optional)
- 1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the lean ground beef. Cook for roughly 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until it begins to brown.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and the beef is fully cooked.
Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to coat the beef evenly with the spices.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the juice of one lime. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh cilantro.
Warm the corn tortillas by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Top with diced tomato, sliced avocado, optional jalapeño slices, and shredded iceberg lettuce.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
