Ingredients: For the seasoned ground beef:

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup water

For assembling the tacos:

  • 12 crunchy taco shells
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Diced onions
  • Sliced jalapeƱos (optional)
  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Sour cream
  • Salsa

Instructions:

  1. Cook the seasoned ground beef: In a large skillet, cook the lean ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is softened and translucent.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper, combining well with the ground beef mixture.
  4. Pour in the water and stir to incorporate, allowing the mixture to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the flavors are well blended and the liquid has reduced. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
  5. Assemble the tacos: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the taco shell package. Place the crunchy taco shells on a baking sheet and warm them in the preheated oven for a few minutes until crispy and golden brown.
  6. Once the taco shells are warmed, fill each one with a spoonful of the seasoned ground beef mixture.
  7. Top the tacos with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, diced onions, sliced jalapeƱos (if using), chopped fresh cilantro, sour cream, and salsa, or any other toppings of your choice.
  8. Serve and enjoy: Arrange the assembled crunchy beef tacos on a serving platter and serve immediately while warm. Let everyone customize their tacos with their favorite toppings and enjoy the delicious flavors!
