From craving to table
Instructions
- 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
- 2
Drain excess fat from the skillet. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- 3
Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 4
Pour in the tomato sauce and beef broth (or water), stirring to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly.
- 5
While the beef simmers, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame until pliable and slightly charred, about 30 seconds per side.
- 6
To assemble, spoon the beef mixture into the warmed tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, red onion, and cilantro.
- 7
Serve immediately with lime wedges and salsa on the side.
