Gluten-Free Classic American Beef Tacos

Classic crunchy beef tacos with a smoky homemade seasoning, a squeeze of lime, and all your favorite toppings.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion diced small
2 lbs ground beef 85/15
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 oz tomato sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
Taco shells
Toppings such as cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, avocado, onions, and cilantro

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, oregano, and cayenne. Let the spices bloom in the oil for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the ground beef and break it up with a spoon or meat chopper as it cooks. Cook until fully browned, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon of the water, and the lime juice. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
If the filling looks too thick, stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of water.
Spoon the taco meat into crunchy taco shells and top with all your favorite toppings.
