# How To Make It:
01 - Combine diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and set aside to allow flavors to meld.
02 - Mash avocados in a separate bowl. Stir in diced tomato, red onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined for a chunky texture. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
03 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion for 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add ground beef, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat, until browned and cooked through (approximately 8 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
04 - Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Warm tortillas for 20 to 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
05 - Place a spoonful of seasoned beef mixture on each tortilla. Top with fresh salsa and guacamole. Add cheese and cilantro if desired. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- Everything tastes better in tiny form, and tacos are no exception to this universal truth
- The beef filling comes together in one pan and tastes even better if you make it ahead
- Guests can customize their own toppings, which somehow makes them feel fancy and involved
02 -
- Draining the beef fat keeps the mini tacos from getting soggy halfway through the party
- The tortillas must be warm or they will crack when you try to fold them
- Making everything ahead of time actually improves the flavors
03 -
- Place a paper towel under the tortillas while warming them to absorb excess moisture
- Sprinkle a little cheese on the tortillas before adding the beef to help everything stick together
