Instructions
Make the Taco Meat
Cook onions and beef. In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and add the onion and ground beef. Brown the hamburger and onions for about 6-7 minutes or until cooked through.
Add spices and finish taco meat. Add the paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne, oregano, sea salt and water. Stir to combine and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the liquid starts to thicken. Keep on very low heat to keep warm while you prepare your fixings.
Assemble the Walking Tacos
Grab a bag of chips. Make a well in the center.
Add the meat. Scoop your preferred amount of taco meat into the center of the chip bag.
Top with fixings. Add your fixings of choice. I recommend shredded Mexican blend cheese, shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes at a minimum. You can also add guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo salsa, salsa macha or whatever else your heart desires. 🙂
