Ingredients

• 1 pound extra-lean ground beef
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 cup low-sodium beef broth
• 12 small corn tortillas
• 1 lime
• 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking and stirring until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the extra-lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until fully browned, stirring frequently to break up the meat, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Drain any excess fat from the skillet, if necessary, to keep the dish low in fat.

Step 5

Reduce heat to medium and add chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, ground coriander, and dried oregano to the beef mixture, stirring to combine well.

Step 6

Pour in the low-sodium beef broth, stirring well to deglaze the skillet. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and flavors have melded.

Step 7

Season the beef mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir, and then remove from heat.

Step 8

Warm the corn tortillas either in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

Step 9

To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto each tortilla.

Step 10

Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 11

Squeeze a wedge of lime over each taco for added freshness.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-fat beef street tacos.
