Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 12 pieces crispy taco shells
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece lime, cut into wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion becomes translucent, around 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Step 4
Add the canned diced tomatoes to the beef mixture and stir well to combine. Lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly.
Step 5
Meanwhile, warm the crispy taco shells according to the package instructions.
Step 6
To assemble the tacos, spoon some of the beef mixture into each taco shell. Top with shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Step 7
Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the tacos and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
Step 8
Enjoy your delicious, crispy beef tacos!
