Equipment
Method
- In a frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent (approximately 3-4 minutes).
- Add ground beef to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned (around 6-8 minutes). Use a spatula to break it up as it cooks.
- Stir in the smoky chili sauce and let it simmer for another 5 minutes to absorb the flavors. Remove from heat and let rest.
- While the beef mixture rests, warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until pliable (about 30 seconds).
- Assemble the tacos by placing a generous spoonful of the smoky beef mixture on each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado and diced cucumber.
- Drizzle with tahini and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top. Serve cut in half alongside a simple side salad with a light vinaigrette.
- Enjoy your delicious smoky chili beef tacos while warm!
