Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
Salt & pepper to taste
10 hard taco shells
1 cup shredded cheese (e.g. Tex-Mex blend or cheddar)
Toppings: salsa, sour cream, avocado, red onions, lettuce, etc. optional, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F and move the rack to the middle position.
Add the beef to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once it begins to cook and you've separated it a bit with your spoon, add in the spices. Cook, while occasionally stirring, for about 8-10 minutes or until the beef has cooked through.
If there's any excess fat released from the beef, spoon it out. Give the beef a taste and adjust ingredients if needed (e.g. add more smoked paprika). Season with salt & pepper to taste (chili powder usually contains salt so you may not have to add much).
Arrange the hard taco shells in a 9x13 baking dish. Fill each taco shell equally with the ground beef mixture.
Top each taco with the cheese.
Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Top the tacos as desired and enjoy!
