Prepare the Shells
In a medium frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, fry the corn tortillas one at a time for about 30 seconds on each side until they are golden and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

Cook the Beef
In a large skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium heat and add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

Season the Beef
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked beef and stir well to combine. Pour in the water and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, until the liquid has reduced slightly and the beef is well-coated in the seasoning.
