Directions
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add ground beef. Break apart until finely crumbled and browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add cumin, chili powder, tomato sauce, and adobo sauce. Stir to combine. Season to taste with salt, then remove from the skillet.
  3. For the crema, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and salt in a food processor or blender and blend until very smooth. Garlic and cilantro should be well chopped. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
  4. For the pico de gallo, combine the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a small bowl and season with salt to taste. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
  5. To assemble walking tacos, open a bag of chips and add ¼ cup to ½ cup of ground beef mixture. Top with pico de gallo, cheese, lettuce, and cilantro crema. Mash avocado in a small bowl and add on top to serve.
