Ingredients
Scale
Taco Beef or Turkey
- 2 teaspoons garlic-infused olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 (4-ounce) can diced mild green chilies
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper // I use ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For Serving
- 8 hard corn taco shells
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups finely shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
- 8 small cherry tomatoes, diced
Instructions
- Heat garlic-infused oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook, breaking into crumbles, until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- While the beef is browning, whisk together the water, tomato paste, ground cumin, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Honestly, I sometimes skip this step and add the sauce ingredients directly to the skillet with the browned ground meat. It requires a little more intentional mixing to make sure there are no clumps of tomato paste, but it saves a dish.
- Once the beef is cooked, stir in the tomato mixture and canned green chiles. Continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes or until everything is hot. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve taco beef warm in hard corn taco shells. Top each taco with up to 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese, ¼ cup shredded lettuce, and 1 diced cherry tomato.
