# Components:
→ Meat
01 - 0.5 lb ground beef
02 - 0.5 tsp salt
03 - 0.5 tsp ground cumin
04 - 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
05 - 0.5 tsp chili powder
06 - 0.25 tsp garlic powder
07 - 0.25 tsp onion powder
→ Flatbread & Shells
08 - 4 small flour tortillas (soft taco size)
09 - 4 crunchy taco shells
→ Cheese
10 - 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
→ Toppings
11 - 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
12 - 0.5 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
13 - 0.25 cup creamy chipotle or spicy ranch sauce
# Directions:
01 - In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef while breaking it up. Incorporate salt, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until fully browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
02 - Heat a nonstick skillet on low-medium heat. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet and evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese on each half. Cover and warm for 1 to 2 minutes until cheese melts and tortilla softens.
03 - Wrap each cheesy tortilla immediately around a crunchy taco shell, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all tortillas and shells.
04 - Spoon the cooked seasoned beef into each taco shell. Top with shredded lettuce, optional diced tomatoes, and a drizzle of creamy chipotle or spicy ranch sauce.
05 - Serve immediately to maintain crunchy shells and melted cheese texture.
