Instructions:
- Cook the Beef:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
- Add the chopped onion and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the beef broth (or water) and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the beef is well-coated with the spices.
- Prepare the Lettuce Wraps:
- Carefully separate the lettuce leaves to use as taco shells. Rinse and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Spoon the seasoned beef mixture into each lettuce leaf.
- Top with your choice of shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and sliced jalapeños if you like extra heat.
- Add a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
- Enjoy!
