Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
1/4 cup sour cream
For the Chipotle Aioli:
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

Prepare the Chipotle Aioli: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chipotle in adobo sauce, lime juice, and minced garlic. Adjust the spice level to your preference and set aside.
Cook the Beef: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet or directly over a flame, warm the tortillas until soft and pliable.
