Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.25 cup Water
- 8 large leaves Romaine or butter lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the beef is evenly coated with spices.
Add the tomato paste and water to the skillet. Stir to combine, allowing the mixture to simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the avocado by removing the pit and scooping out the flesh. Mash it in a bowl with lime juice until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt, if desired.
Rinse and pat dry the lettuce leaves, ensuring they are clean and dry.
To assemble, layer a scoop of the ground beef mixture onto each lettuce leaf. Top with a spoonful of mashed avocado and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
Fold the lettuce around the filling, tucking in the sides like a burrito, and serve immediately.
