Step 1

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat.

Add the finely chopped yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Add minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the grass-fed ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, for 6-8 minutes or until browned.

Step 5

Stir in cumin powder, paprika, coconut aminos, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook for additional 2-3 minutes allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 7

Warm paleo-friendly tortillas slightly to make them pliable, either in the microwave or in a warm oven wrapped in a damp towel.

Step 8

Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, then roll them tightly into taquitos, securing with toothpicks if necessary.

Step 9

Arrange the taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet.

Step 10

Brush the taquitos lightly with avocado oil to help them crisp up.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, turning once halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and discard toothpicks.

Step 13

Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
