Ingredients
For the Beef:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 onion (diced)
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
For Serving:
- 12 corn tortillas (make sure they're gluten-free)
- 1 avocado (diced)
- 1 tomato (diced)
- 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat large skillet over medium heat for a few minutes.
- Add beef and onions and cook over medium heat, breaking up the beef as it cooks. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until beef is browned and no pink remains. Drain extra fat.
- Add water and spices to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until water is absorbed by the meat. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Carefully heat corn tortillas over gas burner flame for 20-30 seconds to char the edges of the tortilla. Remove with a spatula and repeat with remaining tortillas. Alternatively, you can place corn tortillas in an oven at 350F for about 3-4 minutes in order to heat them up.
- Serve with diced avocado, tomato, cilantro, and shredded cheese.
