Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 120 milliliters Beef stock
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Tortillas
- 150 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 100 grams Lettuce, shredded
- 2 medium Tomatoes, diced
- 120 milliliters Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until browned and fully cooked through.
Stir in the ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
Add the tomato paste and beef stock to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 5-6 minutes, reducing slightly to a thick, flavorful sauce.
While the beef cooks, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
To assemble the tortillas, spread a spoonful of beef mixture down the center of each tortilla.
Layer lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro over the beef.
Fold and serve immediately, with optional hot sauce or lime wedges on the side for added flavor.
