Ingredients
  

For the Beef Tacos:

1 lb ground beef

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

For the Fresh Salsa:

2 medium tomatoes, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and diced (optional for heat)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt to taste

For the Avocado:

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 teaspoon lime juice

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.

    Season the Beef: Reduce heat to medium and add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the beef. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

      Prepare the Salsa: While the beef is cooking, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

        Taco Shells: If using corn tortillas, heat them in a separate dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until warmed and pliable. If using flour tortillas, simply warm them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel.

          Mix the Avocado: In a small bowl, combine the diced avocado, lime juice, and salt. Gently toss to coat the avocado without mashing it.

            Assemble the Tacos: Take a warm tortilla, add a generous spoonful of the seasoned beef, a scoop of fresh salsa, and top with a spoonful of avocado. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

              Serve: Serve immediately with extra lime wedges and cilantro on the side for garnish if desired.
