Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 cut into wedges lime
- 1 medium, diced tomato
- 1 diced avocado
- 1 cup, shredded fresh lettuce
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until it is browned and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the cumin, paprika, chili powder, dried oregano, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the spices with the beef.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Stir occasionally.
Step 6
While the beef is simmering, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat, about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
Step 7
To assemble the tacos, place a generous scoop of the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Top with diced tomato, avocado, shredded lettuce, and chopped cilantro.
Step 8
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos for a fresh, zesty finish.
