Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Dice the bell pepper

    Wash the bell pepper and remove the seeds and white ribs. Cut it into small 5 mm cubes.

  2. Cut the tomato

    Wash the tomato and dice it small, removing the stem. Set aside in a bowl.

  3. Brown the beef

    Add the oil to the nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the ground beef and brown it for 5 min, stirring with the wooden spoon. Season lightly with salt.

    Tip · To keep the beef from releasing too much water, don't pack it down in the skillet with the spoon. Keep it spread out.

  4. Add the bell pepper

    Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3 min over medium heat, stirring.

  5. Stir in the tomato

    Add the diced tomato to the skillet. Let it simmer for 2 min over low heat so the flavors blend.

  6. Season

    Sprinkle the sweet paprika over the mixture in the skillet. Stir well to spread the seasoning.

  7. Warm the tortillas

    Place the flour tortillas between two plates and microwave them for 30 seconds to soften them. See the tip if you don't have a microwave.

    Tip · If you don't have a microwave, wrap the tortillas in a damp dish towel and warm them for 1 min in the skillet over very low heat.

  8. Build the tacos

    Spread the lettuce over each tortilla. Add a portion of the beef and vegetable mix in the center. Top with a little plain yogurt.

  9. Serve right away

    Fold the tacos in half and serve them right away so they don't get soggy.
