Chipotle Beef Tacos

Chipotle Beef Tacos

Serves 2 (makes 4 large tacos)

It’s all about the perfectly-flavored beef in this easy taco recipe. Add a little avocado and cotija to balance it all out.

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • (16-ounce) package Certified Piedmontese 96% lean ground beef
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (7-ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, pureed
  • 1 (8-ounce) can tomato puree
  • 2 ounces cotija cheese
  • 1 avocado, peeled, cored, and diced
  • Low carb tortillas, like Mama Lupe’s low carb tortillas
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lime, quartered (optional)

In a large cast iron skillet over high heat, heat the oil until it shimmers. Sear the ground beef until brown and crumbly; season with salt and pepper. Add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper and cook until soft. Add the chipotle puree and tomato puree and simmer for 15 minutes.

If desired, toast the tortilla. Top with the beef, avocado, cotija cheese, and fresh lime juice, if desired.

Serving size = 2 large tacos, 4 ounces beef in each
