Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 cup beef stock
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 10 mini tortillas
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- avocado oil
Homemade Taco Seasoning
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 2 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp oregano
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
Garlic Lime Aioli
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 jalapeño
- 1 1/2 cups cilantro
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 lime juice
Instructions
- 1Seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together cumin, chili powder, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create a homemade taco seasoning blend.
- 2Filling: Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until mostly browned. Stir in the taco seasoning blend and tomato paste, sauté for 2–3 minutes. Pour in the beef stock and simmer 8–10 minutes, or until the liquid evaporates and the beef is saucy and fully cooked. Set aside.
- 3Aioli: In a blender or food processor, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, the small deseeded jalapeño, cilantro leaves and stems, 4–5 garlic cloves, black pepper, salt, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and bright green.
- 4Assembly: Lay a mini tortilla flat, sprinkle a thin layer of shredded mozzarella, add 2–3 tbsp of the beef filling, then another sprinkle of mozzarella. Fold the tortilla over to form a taco. Repeat with all tortillas.
- 5Crisping: Heat a light layer of avocado oil in a clean pan over medium‑low heat. Add the folded tacos and cook until golden and crispy on both sides, adding more oil as needed. Work in batches if necessary.
- 6Finish: Plate the crispy tacos, drizzle generously with the garlic‑lime aioli, and garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
