Step 1

Heat the oil in your skillet for two minutes over medium-high heat. Add your meat once the oil is hot enough to sizzle.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet and stir as the meat cooks evenly and begins to brown. This process will take between 6-8 minutes. While the meat is browning, use a wooden spoon or potato masher to break the ground beef up into smaller pieces.

Step 3

Add the beef broth, tomato paste, cumin, chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the meat.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and allow the meat mixture to simmer for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce becomes thick. Stir occasionally. When the sauce is thick, turn off the heat and set the skillet aside.

Step 5

Heat your tortillas by putting one tortilla at a time into a hot ungreased skillet or cast-iron comal for 30 seconds on each side.

Step 6

For each tortilla, add about 2-3 tablespoons of your taco meat mixture. Top the ground beef mixture with onion, cheese, cilantro, and tomato.

Step 7

Add whatever other garnishes you want to your tacos, including sour cream, salsa, pico de gallo, or guacamole. Squeeze the lime juice over your assembled tacos.

Step 8

Enjoy!
