1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

½ tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

1 tbsp olive oil

8 small corn or flour tortillas

For the Fresh Avocado Salsa:

2 ripe avocados, diced

1 medium tomato, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeds removed, finely chopped

1 lime, juiced

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Beef:

    - In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

      - Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until soft.

        - Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

          - Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

            - Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and simmer for an additional 2 minutes to combine flavors.

              Prepare the Avocado Salsa:

                - In a medium bowl, gently combine the diced avocados, tomato, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and cilantro.

                  - Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix carefully to avoid mashing the avocados.

                    Warm the Tortillas:

                      - In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

                        - Alternatively, wrap them in aluminum foil and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.

                          Assemble the Tacos:

                            - To each tortilla, add a generous spoonful of the seasoned beef mixture.

                              - Top with a good spoonful of the fresh avocado salsa.

                                - Add any additional toppings you wish, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or hot sauce.

                                  Serve and Enjoy:

                                    - Serve the tacos warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy your delicious beef tacos with salsa!
