Ingredients
- 12 ounces Plant-based ground 'beef'
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the plant-based ground 'beef' to the skillet and cook until browned and heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the mixture with cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper, stirring until well combined.
While the 'beef' is cooking, warm the corn tortillas on a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or until they are pliable and slightly browned.
Remove the 'beef' mixture from heat and start assembling the tacos.
Place a generous spoonful of the 'beef' mixture on each tortilla.
Top the tacos with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, and a spoonful of salsa or Pico de Gallo.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a fresh citrus kick.
