Ingredients

• •1 lb ground beef
• •2 tbsp olive oil
• •1 medium onion, diced
• •3 cloves garlic, minced
• •1 tbsp chili powder
• •1 tsp ground cumin
• •1 tsp smoked paprika
• •1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• •1/2 tsp salt
• •1/4 tsp black pepper
• •8 corn tortillas
• •1 ripe avocado, sliced
• •1 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
• •1 lime, cut into wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. 2

   Add the diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion becomes translucent (about 3-4 minutes).

3. 3

   Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the ground beef; cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula (about 5-7 minutes).

4. 4

   Drain excess fat if necessary, then stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.

5. 5

   While the beef is cooking, in a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas over low heat until pliable (about 30 seconds on each side).

6. 6

   Once the beef is ready, assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of the beef mixture on each tortilla, followed by slices of avocado and a sprinkle of cilantro.

7. 7

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