Authentic Beef Tacos with Fresh Salsa

1In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef (1 pound) until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

2Add the onion (1 small) and garlic (2 cloves), and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion (1 small) is translucent.

3Stir in the chili powder (1 tablespoon), cumin (1 teaspoon), paprika (½ teaspoon), oregano, cayenne pepper (¼ teaspoon), salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.

4Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet until soft and pliable, about 1 minute per side.

5To assemble the tacos, spoon the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese (½ cup), and cilantro.

6Serve the tacos with lime (1) wedges for squeezing over the top. Enjoy your delicious homemade tacos!
