Equipment

  • large skillet
  • spoon
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

Taco Filling

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 blend recommended
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Assembly

  • 12 taco-sized corn tortillas
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  • Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir constantly for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the beef is fully browned and no pink remains.
  • Pour in the tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions to make them pliable. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, top with shredded cheese, and fold in half.
  • Serve the tacos immediately, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro.
