10 taco shells, flat bottom
1 brick (270 g) medium cheddar cheese, grated
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Olive oil

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a baking dish or baking sheet, place the taco shells and distribute half of the cheese in the bottom of the shells. Place in the oven and bake for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Set aside.
In a large skillet heated over medium heat, add the onion, garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook, stirring constantly, 3 to 4 minutes.
Increase heat to high, add the meat then season with salt and pepper. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes or until the meat is cooked through. Break the meat into pieces. Drain off the fat.

Fill the tacos with the meat mixture, top with lettuce and tomato and bury with the rest of the cheese!
