Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (93% lean)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 8 small corn tortillas

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, pre-mix the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, then add the ground beef in a flat layer. Let the beef sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes until a dark brown crust forms.
  3. Use a spatula to break the meat into small crumbles, cooking until the beef is fully browned and reaches a safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  4. Sprinkle the pre-mixed seasoning over the beef and stir constantly for 60 seconds to bloom the spices.
  5. Pour in the low-sodium beef broth. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces into a thick glaze.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave.
  7. Divide the beef mixture equally among the warm tortillas and serve.
