Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground beef and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 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
The flavor will be a little lighter - use the same amount.

For serving

8 corn tortillas (6-inch)
Chef's tip
Cassava tortillas are typically 6-inch — warm them so they stay pliable, and use two for overstuffed fillings.
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
2 roma tomatoes, diced
½ cup 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.
