Prepare Tortilla Bowls
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush both sides of the flour tortillas with olive oil. Press each tortilla into an oven-safe bowl to shape them into bowls. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Cook the Meat
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or shredded chicken until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and a little water if needed, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
