Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin powder, smoked paprika, and ground coriander. Cook for 2 minutes to toast the spices.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and beef broth. Mix well and reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
Season the chili beef mixture with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
While the beef simmers, warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or microwave until pliable.
To assemble the tacos, spoon the chili beef mixture onto the warm tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
