# Components:
→ Beef & Seasonings
01 - 0.5 pound ground beef
02 - 0.5 small onion, finely diced
03 - 1 clove garlic, minced
04 - 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
05 - 0.25 teaspoon salt
06 - 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
07 - 2 tablespoons water
→ Cheesy Flatbreads
08 - 4 small flour tortillas
09 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
→ Crunchy Tacos & Toppings
10 - 4 crunchy taco shells
11 - 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
12 - 0.5 cup shredded Monterey Jack or extra cheddar cheese
13 - 0.25 cup ranch dressing or spicy chipotle mayo
14 - 1 small tomato, diced (optional)
# Directions:
01 - In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef and diced onion for about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
02 - Add minced garlic, taco seasoning, salt, black pepper, and water to the skillet. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until beef is flavorful and moist. Remove from heat.
03 - Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Place one flour tortilla in the pan, sprinkle with a quarter cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and cover until cheese melts, roughly 1 to 2 minutes.
04 - Press a crispy taco shell onto the melted cheese so it adheres. Remove from the pan carefully. Repeat this process with remaining tortillas, cheese, and taco shells.
05 - Fill each crunchy taco shell with the seasoned beef mixture.
06 - Top the beef-filled tacos with shredded lettuce, Monterey Jack or additional cheddar cheese, ranch dressing or chipotle mayo, and diced tomatoes if desired.
07 - Serve tacos warm for best flavor and texture.
