# What you'll need:
→ 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

→ Toppings
11 - 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
12 - 0.5 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
13 - 0.25 cup creamy chipotle or spicy ranch sauce
# Method:
01 - In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, breaking it apart. Add salt, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Brown for 6–8 minutes, then drain excess fat if needed.
02 - Heat a large nonstick skillet over low-medium heat. Place a flour tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle 0.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese on one half, then 0.25 cup on the other half. Cover and cook 1–2 minutes until cheese melts and tortilla warms.
03 - Wrap each cheesy tortilla immediately around a crunchy taco shell, gently pressing to adhere. Repeat for all tortillas and shells.
04 - Fill each taco shell with a portion of the seasoned ground beef.
05 - Top each filled shell with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes if desired, and drizzle with creamy chipotle or spicy ranch sauce.
06 - Serve immediately to maintain crunchy shells and melted cheese texture.
