Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (90% lean)
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tsp Cumin
• 1 tbsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 8 leaves Iceberg or butter lettuce
• 0.25 cup Cilantro
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 medium Lime
• 1 large Tomato

Directions

Step 1

Begin by finely dicing the onion and mincing the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 4

Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then return to heat. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing until well combined.

Step 5

Let the beef simmer over low heat for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

While the beef is simmering, prepare the toppings: dice the tomato, chop the cilantro, and slice the avocado. Cut the lime into wedges.

Step 7

To assemble the tacos, layer a generous scoop of the beef mixture onto each lettuce leaf. Top with diced tomato, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of fresh flavor.
