Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 200 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Lettuce, shredded
• 1 unit Tomato, diced
• 1 unit Avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 1 unit Lime, sliced into wedges

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Spread the shredded cheddar cheese in small circle piles on the baking sheet, leaving space between each pile.

Step 3

Bake the cheese for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted into round, flat shells. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Step 4

While the cheese shells are baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Drain excess fat from the skillet and add cumin, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Once cheese shells have cooled enough to handle, gently shape them into taco shells by draping them over the handle of a wooden spoon or a similar object.

Step 8

To assemble the tacos, fill each cheese shell with the cooked beef mixture, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
