Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving

  • Lettuce leaves (for wrapping)
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Avocado
  • Shredded cheese
  • Sour cream
  • Cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat Oil and Sauté Aromatics: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until they are softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until it is fully browned, breaking it apart with a spoon to ensure even cooking.
  3. Add Spices: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the spices release their aroma and blend well with the beef.
  4. Assemble Tacos: Remove the skillet from heat. Spoon the beef mixture into fresh lettuce leaves to create the taco wraps.
  5. Add Toppings: Top the taco wraps with diced tomatoes, avocado slices, shredded cheese, sour cream, and fresh cilantro according to your preference. Serve immediately and enjoy.

  • Adjust spices to suit your preferred taste and heat level.
  • For extra flavor, add lime juice to the toppings before serving.
  • This recipe is easily doubled for larger groups.
  • Keep leftovers refrigerated and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
