Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Spices

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Wraps & Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the diced small onion and minced garlic cloves, cooking and stirring occasionally until they are softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Cook the beef: Add 1 lb ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Continue cooking until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Add spices: Stir in 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon paprika, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spices are well combined and fragrant.
  4. Assemble tacos: Remove the beef mixture from heat. Use crisp lettuce leaves as tacos shells and spoon the seasoned beef into each leaf.
  5. Add toppings: Top each beef-stuffed lettuce leaf with diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and fresh cilantro to your preference. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • If you want to add extra heat, include jalapeño slices or hot sauce as a topping.
  • Make sure to use sturdy lettuce leaves like romaine or butter lettuce to hold the filling well.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and low-carb, suitable for keto diets.
  • To save time, you can prepare the beef mixture ahead and reheat before serving.
