Chipotle Beef Tacos are a zesty, smoky twist on traditional tacos, featuring tender halal beef marinated in a chipotle sauce. Served with fresh toppings, these tacos deliver a flavorful punch in every bite.

Ingredients

• Halal ground beef - 250 grams
• Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, chipotle peppers in adobo, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the marinated beef to the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until fully cooked and browned.
4. While the beef is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until pliable.
