Low-Carb Beef Lettuce Tacos

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (85/15)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 large lettuce leaves
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves well so they can hold the filling without wilting.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook 2–3 minutes until softened.
3. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds, then add ground beef. Cook 6–8 minutes, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through.
4. Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 1–2 minutes more so the spices bloom into the beef.
5. Spoon the beef mixture into lettuce leaves and top with tomatoes and any preferred low-carb toppings.
6. Serve immediately while the lettuce is crisp.
