Open the can of kidney beans and pour them into a colander under cold water to rinse them. Shake well to get rid of the extra liquid.
Prep the onion
Peel the red onion, cut it in half and slice it thinly on the cutting board.
Sauté the onion
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté it for 3 minutes until it turns translucent.
Cook the beef
Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onion. Break it up with a fork and cook it for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring regularly. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Add the spices
Sprinkle the cumin and paprika over the beef. Stir well to coat the meat and cook for 2 more minutes.
Warm the beans
In the saucepan, add the drained beans with 2 tablespoons of water. Heat over low heat for 3 minutes, stirring now and then.
Make the guacamole
Peel the avocado, remove the pit and mash the flesh with a fork in a bowl. Add the juice of half a lemon, a little salt and stir.
Tip · For a creamier guacamole, mash the avocado with a fork but leave a few chunks for texture.
Cut the tomato
Wash the tomato and dice it on the cutting board.
Build the tacos
Quickly warm the tortillas 10 seconds per side in the hot skillet. Fill each tortilla with the beef, beans, guacamole and tomato, then sprinkle with shredded cheese. Fold in half.
Tip · If you want a crispier taco, toast the tortillas 20 seconds per side over high heat.
