Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 diced Roma tomatoes
• 1 sliced avocado
• 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 cut into wedges lime
• 8 large leaves romaine lettuce

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula or wooden spoon. Cook until it's browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary, and return to the heat.

Step 5

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the beef with the spices.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and let the beef mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

While the beef mixture simmers, prepare the toppings by dicing the Roma tomatoes, slicing the avocado, and chopping the fresh cilantro. Cut the lime into wedges.

Step 8

Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves, which will serve as your taco shells.

Step 9

To assemble the tacos, take a lettuce leaf and spoon a portion of the seasoned beef onto the center.

Step 10

Top the beef with diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 11

Serve your Paleo Beef Hard Tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
