📝 Ingredients

  • 120 g ground beef (15% fat)
  • 4 small corn or flour tortillas
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp chili powder
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tomato, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • ½ avocado, mashed
  • 2 tbsp light crème fraîche
  • Fresh cilantro, salt, oil

🍴 Utensils

  • Frying pan
  • Two small bowls
  • Citrus juicer

📖 Steps

  1. Make the pico de gallo: mix the tomato, half the red onion, lime juice, chopped cilantro and salt. Let marinate for 10 min.
  2. Mash the avocado with a fork along with the rest of the lime and a pinch of salt. Keep it chunky.
  3. Brown the ground beef in a hot dry pan, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt. Once the liquid has evaporated, add the cumin, paprika, chili and garlic powder. Cook for another 2 min.
  4. Warm the tortillas directly over the gas flame (5 sec per side) or in a dry pan. They should have some charred spots — that's normal and delicious.
  5. Build the tacos: guacamole first, then the spiced beef, pico de gallo and crème fraîche.
  6. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and raw red onion for crunch.
  7. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
💡 FitBot tip: Never fill the tacos ahead of time — they go soggy. Serve all the components separately and let everyone fill their own taco at the last moment to keep them crispy.
