Ingredients
For the Meat:
- 12 ounces ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of pepper
- 1 tbsp marinara sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/3 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
For the Tacos:

- 1 cup lettuce sliced into strips
For the Sauce:

Instructions
- Mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, chili powder, smoked paprika, marinara, and sour cream. Spread a thin layer of the beef mixture onto each tortilla.
- Prep the other ingredients by grating the cheese, slicing the onion and lettuce, halving the cherry tomatoes, and preparing the corn.
- Make the sauce by mixing the sour cream, mayonnaise, and ketchup.
- Heat a wide non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. No oil is needed. Place the tortilla meat-side down onto the hot skillet. Press the tortilla down to ensure the beef touches the pan. Cook for 3 minutes.
- After 3 minutes, reduce the heat, flip the tortilla, and sprinkle with cheese and remaining toppings.
- Once the tortilla is golden and the cheese has melted, transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Serve the tacos by folding them in half or rolling them up, and enjoy!
