Directions

Prep 10 minCook 10 min

1
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the chili powder, cumin, onion powder, salt, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne until evenly combined.
3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Lightly coat with cooking spray, then add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small crumbles, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat.
4
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the beef and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the water and simmer until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the beef is well coated, 3–5 minutes.
5
Warm the taco shells on a baking sheet or directly on the oven rack until crisp, about 5 minutes.
6
Assemble tacos: fill warm shells with the seasoned beef and top with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and sour cream. Serve immediately.
