Preparation Preparation Brown the ground beef in a skillet, adding a pinch of salt and pepper.
Push the meat to one side of the pan, add the olive oil and the onion.
Add a pinch of salt and sauté the onion until translucent.
Add the smoked paprika, cumin, and chipotle to the meat and onions and toast the spices for about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and water.
Mix well and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese to a microwave-safe plate lined with parchment paper.
Spread out in a thin later and microwave for 1 minute.
Remove and immediately lift off the plate with an offset spatula (or other similarly shaped utensil).
Gently mold the cheese around the spatula to form a taco shaped shell.
It doesnt take long to harden, so youll want to work quickly.
Set shell aside and make the second one.
Once cooled, add taco meat and your favorite toppings.
Serve with some avocado on the side and enjoy!
