Instructions
1
Prep
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, slice the tomato, and preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), lining a baking sheet with foil.
2
Sauté
Cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes, breaking up the meat, until no pink remains.
3
Simmer
Stir in cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and beef stock; simmer over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until liquid absorbs and mixture looks glossy.
4
Build
Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for 10 seconds, spoon beef filling along one edge, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick.
5
Crisp
Brush rolled tacos lightly with olive oil and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp.
6
Rest
Let the rolled tacos sit on the baking sheet for 2 minutes until the crust firms.
7
Plate
Remove toothpicks and arrange rolled tacos with lettuce, tomato, cilantro, and reduced-fat sour cream.
