For serving:

• 8 small taco shells or tortillas (corn or flour, whichever you prefer)
• Shredded lettuce
• Diced tomatoes
• Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
• Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
• Salsa or hot sauce (optional)
• Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• Lime wedges (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
3. Crumble the ground beef into the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it’s browned and cooked through.
4. Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until the spices coat the meat evenly.
5. Pour in the beef broth or water and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the flavors have melded together. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
6. While the beef filling is simmering, warm the taco shells or tortillas according to the package instructions.
7. To assemble the tacos, spoon a portion of the beef filling onto each taco shell or tortilla.
8. Top the beef filling with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, salsa or hot sauce (if using), and chopped fresh cilantro (if desired).
9. Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
10. Enjoy your delicious homemade tacos!
