Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s no longer pink, breaking it up as it browns. Drain any excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning and ½ cup of water, then stir and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes fragrant.
🔥 Pro Tip: For a smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chipotle powder to the beef.
Step 2: Mix the Filling
Transfer the seasoned beef to a large mixing bowl. Add:
- Shredded cheddar cheese

Mix everything together well. You’re aiming for a well-balanced filling where each bite has meat, cheese, and veggies.
