Ground Beef Tacos

Cook ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat, until browned and no pink remains (71 C). Tip off most of the fat. Stir in garlic for 30 seconds.

Add chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, tomato paste and water to browned beef. Simmer, stirring, until saucy and thick.

Meanwhile, warm taco shells on a sheet pan in the oven until crisp and fragrant.

Fill warm shells with taco meat and let everyone add cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, salsa and a squeeze of lime.
