Instructions
- 1
Place the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula.
- 2
Drain the excess grease from the skillet carefully to ensure the meat isn't too oily.

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until the meat is evenly coated.
- 4
Pour in the water and reduce the heat to low, simmering for 5 to 7 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated and a thick sauce forms.
- 5
Preheat your oven to 350°F and place the taco shells on a baking sheet for 5 minutes until they are warm and fragrant.
- 6
Prepare the toppings by shredding the lettuce, dicing the tomatoes, and grating the cheese while the meat simmers.

Spoon approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons of the seasoned beef into each warm taco shell.
- 8
Top each taco with lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes, adding a dollop of sour cream if desired.
