Instructions
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the vegan ground beef crumbles to the skillet, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic.
Mix in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, and stir well to ensure the crumbles are evenly coated.
Add the tomato paste and water to the skillet, mixing thoroughly until well combined.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until heated through.
Meanwhile, heat the soft corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until warm and pliable, about 30 seconds per side.
To assemble the tacos, divide the vegan beef mixture evenly among the warm tortillas.
Top each taco with shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
