📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

2. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.

5. Drain any excess grease from the skillet and return it to the heat.

6. Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the beef in the spices.

7. Add the tomato paste and water, stirring until the mixture is well combined and slightly saucy. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

8. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or wrap them in foil and heat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5 minutes.

9. Assemble each taco by layering the seasoned beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, and toppings like sour cream, cilantro, and sliced jalapeños.

10. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
