# What You'll Need:
→ Beef & Seasonings
01 - 1/2 pound ground beef
02 - 1/2 small onion, finely diced
03 - 1 clove garlic, minced
04 - 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
07 - 2 tablespoons water
→ Cheesy Flatbreads
08 - 4 small flour tortillas (soft taco size)
09 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
→ Crunchy Tacos & Toppings
10 - 4 crunchy taco shells
11 - 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
12 - 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack or additional cheddar cheese
13 - 1/4 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 the beef is fully browned, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
02 - Add minced garlic, taco seasoning, salt, black pepper, and water to the skillet. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until beef is well seasoned and moist. Remove from heat.
03 - Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Place one flour tortilla in the pan, sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and cover until cheese melts, about 1 to 2 minutes.
04 - Immediately press one crunchy taco shell gently onto the melted cheese so it adheres. Remove from the pan and set aside. Repeat with remaining tortillas, cheese, and taco shells.
05 - Fill each cheesy taco shell with the seasoned beef mixture, then top with shredded lettuce, shredded Monterey Jack or extra cheddar cheese, ranch dressing or chipotle mayonnaise, and diced tomatoes if desired.
06 - Serve the tacos warm and enjoy.
