Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

8 small corn or flour tortillas

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Salsa (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Potatoes: In a medium pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.

    Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

      Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

        Season the Mixture: Stir in the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the spices with the beef and onion.

          Incorporate Potatoes: Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet, gently mixing them with the beef mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

            Prepare Tortillas: While the beef and potato mixture is finishing, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

              Assemble Tacos: Spoon a generous portion of the beef and potato mixture onto each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro, and add salsa if desired.

                Serve: Squeeze lime juice over the tacos before serving to brighten the flavors. Enjoy with extra lime wedges on the side.
