Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 500g ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 8 small tortillas
• 2 ripe avocados, sliced
• Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• Salsa and guacamole, for serving

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
2. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it browns. Cook until no pink remains, approximately 5-7 minutes.
3. Sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the beef. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed, cooking for another 2 minutes.
4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until pliable.
5. Assemble the tacos by placing a generous spoonful of seasoned beef onto each tortilla. Top with slices of creamy avocado, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
6. Serve immediately with salsa and guacamole on the side for extra flavor.

Helpful Tips

• If you’re short on time, use taco seasoning instead of individual spices.
• For added texture, consider adding shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, or sliced jalapeños to your tacos.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat before assembling tacos.

Ingredient Substitutions

• Replace ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
• Use whole grain or corn tortillas for a different flavor and texture.

Pairings

Complement these tacos with a side of Mexican rice, a fresh corn salad, or a refreshing agua fresca to complete the meal.
