Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 lime, juiced
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 12 small corn tortillas
• 1 large tomato, diced
• 1 large avocado, sliced
• 1 fresh jalapeño, sliced (optional)
• 1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the lean ground beef. Cook for roughly 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until it begins to brown.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and the beef is fully cooked.

Step 3

Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to coat the beef evenly with the spices.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the juice of one lime. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 5

Warm the corn tortillas by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds until pliable.

Step 6

Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Top with diced tomato, sliced avocado, optional jalapeño slices, and shredded iceberg lettuce.

Step 7

Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
