Categories     Mexican

Time 33m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • Serve tacos on warm tortillas with your favorite toppings! I highly recommend adding a spritz of fresh squeezed lime juice at the end.
  • Optional Toppings: avocado, cilantro, white onions, red onions, shredded red or green cabbage, fresh squeezed lime juice, jalapenos (the site won't let me put this in ingredients).
