Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 12 corn tortillas
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 large tomato, diced
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, approximately 6-8 minutes.

Step 4

Add the ground cumin, chili powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and tomato paste to the meat mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 5

While the beef is cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a separate frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the corn tortillas one at a time, cooking each side for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until they are crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels.

Step 6

To assemble the tacos, divide the beef mixture among the crispy corn tortillas.

Step 7

Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
