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).
½ medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
⅓ cup water

For serving

8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
1 medium tomato, diced
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no pink remains, about 6–7 minutes. Tilt the pan and spoon off all but about 1 tbsp of the rendered fat.
2
Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
