Taco Bell Tacos

1 pound lean ground beef

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1 dash garlic powder

1/2 cup water

12 taco shells

2 cups shredded lettuce

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1) In a good sized bowl combine ground beef with flour, chili

powder, salt, minced onion, paprika, onion poweder, and garlic

powder. Mix thoroughly with your hands to make sure everything

is VERY well blended.

2) Add the seasoned beef mixture to the water in a skillet

over medium heat. Mix well with a wooden spoon or spatula,

breaking up the meat as it cooks. Heat about 5 to 10 minutes

until nicely browned. The results should be very smooth and

somewhat pasty with no large chunks of beef remaining.

3) Heat up the taco shells in the oven for about 5 minutes at

375F.

4) Build each taco by spooning 2 or 3 tablespoons of meat into

a taco shell. Spread some of the shredded lettuce over the

meat and then sprinkle some cheese over the top. repeat with

the rest of the shells and serve immediately.
