Swift Ground Beef Tacos

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Swift Ground Beef (85% Lean / 15% Fat)
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼–⅓ cup water (optional)
• 8 hard taco shells
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• ½ small onion, finely chopped
• Optional: sour cream, salsa, hot sauce

Cooking Instructions:

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef for 8–10 minutes, breaking it apart, until fully browned. Drain excess fat.
2. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and salt. Add seasoning mixture to the beef and stir well.
3. Simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened, adding water as needed to prevent sticking.
4. If desired, warm taco shells by preheating oven to 350°F and placing shells on a baking sheet for 5 minutes, or follow package instructions.
5. Spoon seasoned beef into taco shells and top with lettuce, cheese, tomato, and onion. Add optional toppings as desired and serve immediately.
