Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 diced Tomato
- 1 sliced Avocado
- 0.25 cup, chopped Cilantro
- 1 cut into wedges Lime
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes, until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Stir in the cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed and cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
To assemble the tacos, lay the romaine lettuce leaves flat on a serving platter or individual plates.
Spoon the beef mixture evenly onto the lettuce leaves.
Top each taco with diced tomato, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over the tacos for added zest.
