Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (90% lean)
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tsp Cumin
- 1 tbsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 8 leaves Iceberg or butter lettuce
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Lime
- 1 large Tomato
Instructions
Begin by finely dicing the onion and mincing the garlic cloves.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned, about 6-8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then return to heat. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing until well combined.
Let the beef simmer over low heat for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
While the beef is simmering, prepare the toppings: dice the tomato, chop the cilantro, and slice the avocado. Cut the lime into wedges.
To assemble the tacos, layer a generous scoop of the beef mixture onto each lettuce leaf. Top with diced tomato, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of fresh flavor.
