Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the ground beef from sticking.
• If you don't have taco seasoning, you can create your own using a blend of chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder.
• Be careful not to overcook the tacos. They should be crispy on the outside and melted on the inside.
• Let the tacos cool slightly before biting into them to avoid burning your mouth.
