Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef Filling:

    - 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 1 minute until fragrant.

          - Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.

            - Drain excess fat if necessary.

              - Season the beef with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

                Make the Avocado Salsa:

                  - In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocados, tomato, red onion, and jalapeño if using.

                    - Squeeze in the lime juice and gently stir until everything is well mixed.

                      - Add chopped cilantro and salt to taste, then set aside.

                        Warm the Tortillas:

                          - In another dry skillet over medium heat, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

                            Assemble the Tacos:

                              - Place a generous amount of beef filling onto each tortilla.

                                - Top with a spoonful of avocado salsa.

                                  - Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of shredded cheese, if desired.

                                    Serve:

                                      - Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra zest.
