Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (preferably grass-fed)
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chipotle powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 Lime, juiced
- 8 large Romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the chipotle powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper with the cooked beef and onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to toast.
Step 5
Pour in the lime juice and mix well, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
Step 7
To assemble the tacos, place two large lettuce leaves on a plate, slightly overlapping to create a taco 'shell'.
Step 8
Spoon a quarter of the beef mixture into each lettuce shell.
Step 9
Top each taco with sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy the freshness and the spice of Whole30 Chipotle Tacos.
