  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Or avocado oil)
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika (Or regular paprika)
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 1 pound Ground Beef (Or turkey, chicken, or black beans)
  • 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (Homemade or store-bought)

  • 1 cup Guacamole (Mashed avocado with lime juice)
