Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (80/20)
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup finely diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup beef broth
8 oz shredded cheddar cheese (or a Mexican blend)
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1/4 cup diced tomato
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
2 tbsp sour cream (per serving, optional)
1/4 avocado, sliced (per serving, optional)

Method

1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

For the cheese shells: Place 8 equal mounds (about 1 oz each) of shredded cheese on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges.

3

Remove from oven and immediately drape the warm cheese crisps over the rungs of an upside-down cooling rack or a taco shell holder to form a taco shape. Let cool completely to harden.

4

While cheese shells cool, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned. Drain any excess fat.

5

Add diced onion and garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3-5 minutes until softened.

6

Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

7

Pour in beef broth, bring to a simmer, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the mixture has thickened.

8

Assemble tacos: Fill each cheese shell with the seasoned ground beef. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and fresh cilantro.

9

Serve immediately with optional sour cream and avocado slices.
