Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper, and cook for another 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Black Beans

    While the beef is cooking, rinse and drain the black beans. Once the beef is cooked, add the black beans to the skillet and mix well. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a separate dry skillet, warm each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Keep them warm in a towel.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, place a generous scoop of the beef and bean mixture. Top with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, and shredded cheese.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Finish with a dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of fresh lime juice over each taco.
