These crunchy hard shell tacos are a Tex-Mex classic filled with ground beef, cheese and more! Homemade yet still as delicious as the fast-food version.
In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and dried oregano. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add onions and saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Add ground beef and break up into smaller chunks using a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is completely browned, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Add small bowl of taco seasoning and tomato paste. Mix thoroughly until tomato paste is completely combined with all the meat.
Add water, mix to combine and remove the taco meat from the heat.
Heat up hard taco shells according to package instructions.
Divide meat mixture into taco shells and top with shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream and salsa. Serve immediately.
