Warm a splash of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the @onion{1} until it softens, about 3 minutes. ~{3%minutes}

Add the @ground beef{500%g}, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until no pink remains, about 7 minutes. ~{7%minutes}

Tilt the pan and spoon off excess fat, then stir in the @garlic{3%clove}, @chili powder{1.5%tbsp} and cumin and cook 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in the @canned @tomato{1}{1%can}, season with @salt{}, and simmer uncovered until the mixture thickens and coats the meat, about 5 minutes. ~{5%minutes}

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or over a burner flame until soft and lightly charred.

Stack two tortillas per taco for extra hold, then fill with the beef.
