Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until onions become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until well-browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.

Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

Lower the heat to medium and season the beef with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7

Heat the gluten-free corn tortillas directly on an open flame for about 10 seconds on each side or in the oven until pliable.

Step 8

Lay tortillas out on a baking sheet and fill each with a portion of the beef mixture.

Step 9

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef in each tortilla.

Step 10

Fold the tortillas in half and gently press them together.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese has melted.

Step 12

Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Step 13

Open each taco slightly and add shredded lettuce, diced tomato, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 14

Serve the tacos with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
