Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (lean)
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon, dried Oregano

Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the lean ground beef.
Cook the beef, breaking it into small pieces, until it is browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the black pepper, ground cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated with the spices.
Pour in the water and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the beef mixture for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the taco shells on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes until they are warm and crispy.
Assemble the tacos by spooning the beef mixture into the baked taco shells.
Top each taco with diced tomato, shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced avocado.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and squeeze a lime wedge over each taco for added flavor.
Serve the crunchy beef tacos immediately and enjoy your low sodium meal.
