Ingredients
  

For the Beef Tacos:

1 lb ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

For the Creamy Avocado Sauce:

1 ripe avocado

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

Juice of 1 lime

1 clove garlic, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Creamy Avocado Sauce:

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

      - Blend until smooth and creamy. If you desire a bit of spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Set aside.

        Cook the Beef:

          - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

            - Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

              - Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

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

                  Season the Beef:

                    - Stir in the taco seasoning, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Combine well and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to meld with the beef.

                      Warm the Tortillas:

                        - While the beef is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.

                          Assemble the Tacos:

                            - Spoon the seasoned beef mixture into the warm tortillas.

                              - Drizzle generous amounts of the creamy avocado sauce on top.

                                - Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.

                                  Serve:

                                    - Enjoy your delicious beef tacos warm, with extra avocado sauce on the side for dipping.
