Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (preferably grass-fed)
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chipotle powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 Lime, juiced
- 8 large Romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the chipotle powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper with the cooked beef and onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to toast.
Pour in the lime juice and mix well, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
To assemble the tacos, place two large lettuce leaves on a plate, slightly overlapping to create a taco 'shell'.
Spoon a quarter of the beef mixture into each lettuce shell.
Top each taco with sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy the freshness and the spice of Whole30 Chipotle Tacos.
