Step 1
Measure and prep all ingredients.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and red bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, less than 1 minute.
Step 3
Add the ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. (See notes 5.)
Step 4
Add the cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir well.
Step 5
Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave according to the package's instructions.
Step 6
Assemble the tacos. Place a portion of the beef mixture in the center of each tortilla and top with shredded cheese, chopped cilantro and salsa. Serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
Notes:
- If you prefer, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
- For a healthier version, you can use whole wheat tortillas instead of corn tortillas.
- For a gluten-free option, be sure to use gluten-free tortillas.
- To prevent the tortillas from tearing when you heat them, cover them with a damp paper towel before microwaving.
- Make sure to cook the ground beef to an internal temperature of at least 160°F to avoid foodborne illness.
