Ingredients:

For the Beef Filling:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 tablespoon cannabis-infused olive oil (adjust amount depending on desired potency)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup water or beef broth

For the Tacos:

• 8 small taco-sized tortillas (flour or corn)
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite blend)
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
• 1/2 cup guacamole (optional)
• Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Optional Toppings:

• Salsa
• Pickled jalapeños
• Hot sauce

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Beef Filling

1. Warm the pan
   Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the cannabis-infused olive oil. Allow it to warm gently to avoid burning the oil and degrading the THC.
2. Cook the aromatics
   Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir frequently. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, being careful not to brown it.
3. Brown the beef
   Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a wooden spoon or spatula, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
4. Season the meat
   Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper over the beef. Stir well to coat everything evenly in the spices.
5. Add liquid
   Pour in the water or beef broth to keep the mixture moist and flavorful. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, letting the flavors meld together. Remove from heat.

Step 2: Assemble the Tacos

1. Warm the tortillas
   Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet, in the oven, or wrapped in a damp paper towel in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
2. Layer the ingredients
   Spoon the beef mixture into each tortilla, then top with shredded lettuce, cheese, diced tomatoes, and any additional toppings like sour cream or guacamole.
3. Garnish
   Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the tacos if desired.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

1. Serve immediately and enjoy your cannabis-infused beef tacos with friends (or solo)! These tacos pair well with a crisp salad, tortilla chips, or even some infused guacamole on the side.

Tips for Safe Cannabis Cooking:

• Know your dosage
  The potency of your cannabis-infused oil will determine the strength of your tacos. If you're unsure of the potency, start with a small amount and adjust next time.
• Mix infused and regular oil
  If you want to control the dosage per serving, you can use a combination of cannabis-infused oil and regular olive oil. For example, use half a tablespoon of infused oil and half a tablespoon of regular oil.
• Low heat
  Avoid cooking with cannabis oil over high heat, as it can degrade cannabinoids like THC and CBD. Keep the heat medium or low for best results.
• Label leftovers
  If you have any leftovers, make sure to label that they are cannabis-infused and store them safely away from unintended users.

Enjoy responsibly!
