Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 diced Roma tomatoes
- 1 sliced avocado
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 cut into wedges lime
- 8 large leaves romaine lettuce
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula or wooden spoon. Cook until it's browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary, and return to the heat.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the beef with the spices.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the beef mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
While the beef mixture simmers, prepare the toppings by dicing the Roma tomatoes, slicing the avocado, and chopping the fresh cilantro. Cut the lime into wedges.
Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves, which will serve as your taco shells.
To assemble the tacos, take a lettuce leaf and spoon a portion of the seasoned beef onto the center.
Top the beef with diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Serve your Paleo Beef Hard Tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
