Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef (or ground turkey, if preferred)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
- 8 pieces corn or flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup guacamole
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet and return it to the stove.
Reduce the heat to medium and add chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cooked meat. Stir well to coat the meat evenly.
Pour in the water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-45 seconds until soft.
To assemble the tacos, start by spooning the seasoned meat onto each tortilla.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Add a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of guacamole, and a drizzle of salsa over the toppings.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Super Tacos!
