Tacos Preparation

1

Cook the Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

2

Add Aromatics

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3

Season the Mixture

Stir in cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it cook for another 3-5 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

4

Warm the Tortillas

In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until pliable.

Assembly

5

Assemble the Tacos

Layer the beef mixture onto each warmed tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

6

Garnish

Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
