How to Make Easy Keto Beef Tacos:
- Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Aromatics and Spices: Add the onion and garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another minute.
- Add Sauce and Broth: Pour in the tomato sauce and beef broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Assemble the Tacos: To serve, spoon the beef mixture into lettuce leaves. Top with your favorite taco toppings such as shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, sour cream, and chopped cilantro.
