How to Make Beef Tacos with Avocado and Sour Cream

2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, ensuring it is fully cooked through.
4. Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine, allowing the spices to coat the meat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
5. While the beef is cooking, heat the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until warm and pliable.
6. Assemble the tacos by placing a generous portion of the seasoned beef in each tortilla.
7. Top with sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, fresh cilantro, and a spoonful of salsa.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful beef tacos!
