Instructions

1. Put the ground beef in a large bowl and add the garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, Mexican oregano, salt, black pepper and dried chives. Mix well with your hands.

2. Warm up the tortillas in the microwave until pliable. Take one tortilla and place a large spoonful of the meat on one side of the tortilla. Use your hand to spread it into a thin layer covering just one side of the tortilla.

3. Fold the taco closed and set it aside. Repeat the above step with the remaining tortillas and ground beef.

4. Heat up a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add 3-4 tacos to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until they're golden brown and crispy on the bottom.

5. Flip the tacos and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.

6. Transfer the tacos to a large paper towel lined bowl to drain. Then repeat the above steps with the remaining uncooked tacos.

7. Carefully open the tacos and add the toppings.

8. Serve and enjoy!
