Ingredients

4 servings

For the beef

1 lb ground beef (80/20)
Chef's tip
Chicken is leaner, so add a little oil and a bit more seasoning. Cook ground chicken fully - to 165°F (74°C).
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup low-sodium beef broth
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will taste lighter and less meaty; a mushroom-rich vegetable broth gives the closest beefy flavor.

For serving

8 corn tortillas (6-inch)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Chef's tip
If the dish is baked or melted, cover it or keep the heat gentle - dairy-free shreds melt more slowly than dairy cheese.
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
2 roma tomatoes, diced
½ cup sour cream
Can be omitted
sour cream
¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no pink remains, about 6–8 minutes. Drain off all but about 1 tablespoon of fat.
