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.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add the tomato sauce, paprika, cumin, dried oregano, season with salt and pepper then mix. Cook, stirring constantly, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Fill the tacos with the meat mixture, top with lettuce and tomato and bury with the rest of the cheese!
