    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Brown the beef with the onion in a skillet, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute.
    2. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and tomato sauce. Simmer 5 minutes until thick.
    3. Warm the taco shells in the oven per the package directions.
    4. Fill the shells with the beef and let everyone top their own.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Build your own taco seasoning with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and oregano — it beats the packets. Warm the shells so they don't crack.
