Method

Cooking the Beef

  1. 1

    Brown the Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Drain excess fat. Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the beef. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Add 1/4 cup of water and bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 4

    Prepare Taco Shells

    While the beef is cooking, warm the taco shells according to package instructions.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tacos

    Once the beef is ready, fill each taco shell with a portion of the seasoned beef.

  3. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and jalapeños as desired.
