Instructions

  1. 1. Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  2. 2. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart, and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat from the pan, if needed.
  3. 3. Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and enhance their flavor.
  4. 4. Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the queso blanco. Stir until the cheese melts completely and combines with the beef, creating a creamy, flavorful mixture. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  5. 5. Warm the soft taco tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet for 30 seconds to 1 minute until pliable.
  6. 6. Assemble the tacos by spooning the queso blanco beef mixture into each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped coriander, sliced jalapeños, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
  7. 7. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
