Ingredients
  

For the Beef Tacos:

1 lb ground beef

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

Salt and pepper to taste

Corn or flour tortillas (8 small)

For the Avocado Lime Sauce:

1 ripe avocado

1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Juice of 1 lime

1 small clove garlic, minced

Salt to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef Filling:

    - In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

      - Add the minced garlic and stir for another minute until fragrant.

        - Increase the heat to medium-high, and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

          - Stir in the taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. If the mixture appears dry, add a splash of water and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.

            - Once cooked, remove from heat.

              Make the Avocado Lime Sauce:

                - In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocado, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt.

                  - Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lime juice for acidity if desired.

                    Assemble the Tacos:

                      - Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.

                        - Spoon the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla.

                          - Drizzle with the avocado lime sauce.

                            - Garnish with fresh cilantro if using.

                              Serve:

                                - Serve the tacos immediately while warm, with your favorite toppings such as diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, or cheese if desired.
