Ingredients

• 12 pieces Corn tortillas (gluten-free)
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 cups Lettuce, shredded
• 2 medium Tomato, diced
• 2 pieces Avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 4 pieces Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Remove the beef mixture from the heat and set aside.

Step 6

In another skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Lightly fry each corn tortilla for about 1 minute per side, or until crispy but still pliable. Remove and blot any excess oil with paper towels. Fold each tortilla in half gently while it's warm to form a taco shell.

Step 8

Fill each taco shell with a generous spoonful of the beef mixture.

Step 9

Top the beef with shredded cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes.

Step 10

Add a few slices of avocado to each taco, and a dollop of sour cream on top.

Step 11

Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for added zest.

Step 12

Enjoy your gluten-free crispy tacos while they're fresh and hot!
