Method

Prep and browning

  1. 1

    Sauté aromatics

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the beef

    Add ground beef; cook, breaking up chunks, until no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  3. 3

    Season the beef

    Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Fresh salsa and toppings

  1. 4

    Make salsa

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt. Let flavors meld for 10 minutes.

Tortillas and assembly

  1. 5

    Warm tortillas

    Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

  2. 6

    Assemble tacos

    Spread a spoonful of beef into each tortilla. Top with lettuce, cheese, salsa, and a dollop of sour cream if using. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired. Squeeze a lime wedge over each taco and garnish with cilantro.

Serve
