2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute to let the spices evenly coat the meat.
Add the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the beef mixture simmers, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Use them as taco shells, filling each leaf with a scoop of the beef mixture.
Top each lettuce taco with your desired toppings, such as shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, avocado, salsa, and sour cream.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
