# 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 ground 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 additional cheddar cheese
13 - 0.25 cup ranch dressing or spicy chipotle mayonnaise
14 - 1 small tomato, diced (optional)
# Directions:
01 - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and diced onion until fully browned, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
02 - Add minced garlic, taco seasoning, salt, black pepper, and water to the beef mixture. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until well combined and moist. Remove from heat.
03 - Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Place one flour tortilla in the pan, sprinkle 0.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top, and cover until the cheese melts, about 1 to 2 minutes.
04 - Immediately press one crunchy taco shell onto the melted cheese so it adheres, then remove from the pan. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and shells.
05 - Fill each cheesy taco shell with the seasoned ground beef.
06 - Top each taco with shredded lettuce, Monterey Jack or extra cheddar cheese, ranch dressing or chipotle mayonnaise, and diced tomatoes if desired.
07 - Serve the assembled tacos warm for optimal flavor and texture.
