Description
Use my favorite taco spice blend with delicious ground beef and all the fresh toppings. It’s that easy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound grass fed ground beef
- 1 heaping tablespoon tapioca flour (optional but encouraged for crispy beef)
- 1 heaping tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 large pinch cayenne pepper (optional but encouraged)
- 1 cob of corn or 1/2 cup frozen corn
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup salsa (our current favorite is this one)
- corn tortillas, warmed or charred on your stove top
- Garnish with sliced avocado and red onion, jalapenos, lime and cilantro.
Instructions
- Heat a skillet up over high heat. While it heats up, mix together the ground beef and tapioca flour. Let sit until the pan is hot.
- Flatten the ground beef out on a plate or cutting board to form a large burger patty. Transfer it to the hot pan and let cook for at least 4 minutes or until the sides are cooked and it’s crispy brown on the bottom side.
- Carefully, flip over and turn the heat to low. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break the beef up into large pieces. When the beef is fully cooked, turn the heat off.
- Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, dried oregano and cayenne pepper. Toss to incorporate.
- Char the cob of corn on your stove top over open flame or heat the frozen corn up slightly in a small saucepan until warmed. Cut the corn of the cob, if needed.
- Mix together the sour cream and salsa (add some hot sauce, if desired) together in a small bowl.
- To assemble the tacos, char or heat the tortillas up. Place some of the ground beef mixture on the bottom and top with all your favorite toppings. Spoon the creamy salsa on top.
