Categories: Copycat, Entree, Mexican

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1/4 c. flour
• 1 Tbsp. chili powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. onion, dried and minced
• 1/2 tsp. paprika
• 1/4 tsp. onion powder
• dash garlic powder
• 1/2 c. water
• 12 taco shells
• 2 c. lettuce, shredded
• 1 c. Cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with the flour, chili powder, salt, minced onion, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Use your hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients into the ground beef.

2. Add the seasoned beef mixture to the water in a skillet over medium heat. Mix well with a wooden spoon or spatula, and break up the meat as it cooks. Heat for 5 to 6 minutes, or until browned. The finished product should be very smooth, somewhat pasty, with no large chunks of beef remaining.

3. Heat up the taco shells in a 375 degree oven for about 5 minutes.

4. Build each taco by spooning 2 to 3 tablespoons of the meat into a warm shell. Spread some of the shredded lettuce over the meat and then sprinkle some cheese over the top. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and serve immediately.

5. Makes 12 tacos.
