Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons Mexican Infused Olive Oil Blend
  • 1 small yellow onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomato
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime cut into wedges

Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet 10-12 inch
  • 1 Wooden spoon for breaking up beef
  • 1 Chef’s knife for chopping vegetables
  • 1 Cutting board for prep
  • 1 set Measuring spoons for seasoning
  • 1 set Measuring cups for toppings

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat the Mexican Infused Olive Oil Blend in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until softened and lightly golden.
  3. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the ground beef and break it up with a spoon as it cooks until browned and no pink remains.
  5. Stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  6. Add the water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until the seasoning coats the beef and the mixture looks glossy.
  7. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or wrapped in foil in a low oven.
  8. Fill each tortilla with the beef mixture and top with lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
  9. Serve right away while the tortillas are warm and the toppings are crisp.

Notes

For the best taco-night texture, keep the toppings cold and the beef hot. If you want a little extra color, toast the tortillas briefly before filling them. The Mexican Infused Olive Oil Blend is used in the skillet as the flavor foundation, so the beef picks up the blend right from the start.
