Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 5 ounces diced onion
- 1/3 cup water
Homemade Taco Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Over MED HIGH heat, brown the ground beef. Break into small pieces with a wooden spoon as you cook.
- When meat is just barely pink, add in the onions and cook until al beef is browned and onions are translucent.
- Add all the spices to the meat and onions and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add water, reduce heat to low, and let the meat simmer for about 10 minutes. This is a good time to make your cheese shells.
- To make the cheese shells, place 1/4 cups of shredded cheese in a flat circle in a nonstick skillet over MED heat.
- Do not touch or move until the edges are crisp and the center is very bubbly.
- Carefully remove the shell from the skillet and immediately drape over your tool of choice (knife on top of bowl, taco stand, etc.).
Notes
You can also make the cheese shells in the broiler by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, placing the same amount of cheese in a flat circle, and broiling for 2-4 minutes. Follow same directions for cooling. You can also lower the carb count by replacing the raw onion with 1/2 tsp onion powder.
